Submissions time...a waste of time

All 'real' publishers are closed for submissions, relying on their already large base of authors to help them write books they think the market needs. They give their market research based idea to 2/3 of their authors and choose the best one. All 'other' publishers are online based, and only a few are open for submissions with strict guidelines. Their books can be bought online only. So what's the point? Perhaps they have money for advertising and reach a larger audience, but there are 1000s of books all trying to get exposure on their sites. Why would mine be any different? It looks like my books will be left in the 'self-publishing' arena, unless a Hungarian or German version is taken by a 'real' publisher in their smaller markets. Smaller market, smaller fish.
Thinking of making a short 'picture' video for the release of the Trilogy book, 3 for 2 kinda thing, blah, blah. Might even use the old shower ad to help :-)))
