The Breakthrough

This story, The Breakthrough on the new Multi-Story short fiction website, is reproduced with permission from the Autumn 2011 issue of The Author (the quarterly journal of the Society of Authors).

It made me groan. As an independent author I continually have at the back of my mind that I should resubmit my novels to agents and publishers in order to try and become mainstream. When I read stuff like this article it pulls a veil down over that nagging doubt. Is mainstream publishing just kudos these days? Is it any more than validation?
