I've often thought about taking the various novels that I've written, purchasing a web domain, and posting them there, as opposed to, or perhaps in conjunction with, traditional publishing.
I did purchase a domain and used my very, very amateurish HTML skills to vaguely create something regarding a web page, uploaded two of my novels with a fancy, *free* flash program that simulates the turning of pages, and am actually kind of proud of myself for getting it all to work.
My question, I supppose, would be: is doing all this and trying to advertise this web site a valid form of getting my work out to an audience? Or should I stick to the trial and error of trying to get a literary agent or a publisher to take a look at my manuscripts?
Thanks for any ideas or advice.
