[stylist] Topic for discussion

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

I'm curious to see what others on the list think of this. I thought it might
make for a good writers discussion.

I'm getting my MFA in creative writing. I've been told by the program,
editors and publishers that if we self-publish, we are throwing our MFA in
the garbage. I recently sat in on a lecture with a publisher from Red Hen
Press who once again backed this comment up. He advised against us
self-publishing because it would be a waste of our MFAs.

Discuss, please.
