Greetings 
,
My cousin Brandon is an aspiring playwright. He's quite prolific and has had some success putting on his plays locally. He's also pretty good, at least in my opinion, though plays aren't really my thing.
He's at the point now where he is preparing to publish a collection of his work in hopes of getting some in circulation. He's planning on going through Authorhouse, which he used to publish a novel a number of years back. When I mentioned that this might not be his best option, his reply was that it was virtually imposible for a new playwright to get published.
Is that the case? Is self-publishing the norm in this discipline, or are there any good strategies for being formally published/getting an agent, etc? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
