The thing is like evry industry, money is important!
Many books dont even make the publishing costs back, thus the publishers go with those that are established or have won prizes, created hype, etc.!
...the only other route is then self publishing or small independant publishing house's, but this makes it very difficult to create hype or get distribution and there for reach the target market!
Maby the net will help change this, but many people dont like to try anything new they need to be told its ok first!
The other thing is people don't seem to be intrested in the short story magazines which used to be used by new horror, sci-fi and fantasy writers to hone there craft and build a strong reputation"
...its the same story with all creative industrys evry is looking for that lucky break!
