Especially for an unknown, and with a LOT less risk.But since the OP seems to be intent on embarking into the thrilling and exciting world of publishing, I'll give some more specific advise on publishing. Now some of this may seem obvious and may come across as a bit pedantic, but I think it still needs to be said.You indicate that your MS is a series of linked adventures that at 200K words would put it at about 240-280 pages. Contracting out for various editors and artists for a project that large is going to cost a good bit. So break it up into 5-8 smaller products. Get the first one out for sale in PDF and start generating feedback (Is it good? Are people talking about it? Is it worth it to continue?).If it's a hit, then you'll start generating the capital to finance the next installment. You'll also know whether to retain the same editors and artists or start looking for new and better ones.After the series is complete in multiple PDF's, THEN you can start thinking about putting them out into one large, combined and revised print version. If it's that good then you'll no longer be a complete unknown and your job getting it into stores will have been made a touch easier (not easy, just easier).</blockquote>
