Besides that, for any published writers here (including self published) what is your opinion on the current Publishing Industry and how it receives non-commercial writing. Also ,what are (if any) your irks with Publishers/Literary Agents or things that you'd do differently ?

My opinion is that it doesn't receive that sort of writing at all now. Agents and publishers are only willing to take "risks" on authors who've already established themselves in one way or another, so you practically never get anything that actually goes against the grain these days unless it's either self-published or put out by some random indie publisher (arguably worse than Self-publishing because they tend to have a far smaller reach).

Well I'm not sure I see a problem with this. Most great writers had to start with writing normal, unrevolutionary, marketable material.

If I were a publisher and some 25 year old handed me the next Ulysses I would most likely shrug him off because it'd sell 3 copies from a 10,000 book batch. He could first write a generic novel and sell 5000 copies, then a good normal novel and sell 50,000 and then after that I would consider publishing his wank tissues between hard covers.

Anyone who self-publishes ought to kill themselves, honestly.

The problem is that no one who'd write "the next Ulysses" or the old one has/had the time or money to play the game. Also
