It's the journey. Let's put it this way, I have my own company. I'd much rather have my own company than be with publishers. It depends on who they represent. They can function as a bank.
Some publishers go out and get covers for their writers.
I've just always loved to be in control. I'm too much of a control freak really to be with anybody. I kind of have to control my own destiny. Yeah, I was signed to somebody who produced Laura Brannigan. Through him, I was signed at Arista Publishing, which was the weirdest experience actually.
