All of this is very valuable insight. Thank you.

I have heard a number of people mention that it is important to find someone to edit, edit, edit for you if you choose to self-publish or go with an ebook publisher. And then get someone to edit again before you submit the final draft. :)

It's nice to know that this is not always the case!

I will definitely be checking out eXtasy if I am not successful with publishing houses/decide to try the ebook route.
