If for whatever reason, an author can't travel, but can be available by email or phone, what sort of publishing options are open to them?
(And of course, I understand getting an agent is a long shot, let alone a book deal.)
Are agents/large trade publishers out? Should they still query agents at all? Am I wrong in thinking there is probably the expectation of conferences, or other in-person meetings if you have an agent/book deal from a trade publisher?
Would it be possible to still trade publish with a smaller press? Do you still query agents if you go this route or do agents consider this annoying?
And of course there is self-publishing, which would work.
Thanks for all the helpful answers!
