There are always plenty of personal opinions. I give no credence to the opinion of a man who can't tell fiction from fact.

People who write as a pastime or hobby and seek a vanity publisher, or more practically a book printer, are numerous and growing. It's a legitimate thing to do, even though it is not the same as writing under contract after a proposal to an actual publisher.
