I am at the San Francisco Writers conference and you can definitely feel the shift in the wind. More and more speakers are encouraging writers to self publish and then look for a traditional publisher to pick them up. Agents are also confessing they look at self-published books for potential books to pitch. This is not something you would have heard even two years ago.
