Congratulations to your daughter! Not sure how your one data point disproves what I said, though, which was not an absolute to begin with.

If small presses are not professional, they very quickly go out of business. There are many very good professional indie presses out there.

Are you suggesting small- and micro-presses are bad unless they're run by someone with a MBA, and/or wildly successful? What is your issue with these smaller publishers?

None at all. I'm simply saying they are professional. How is that a negative? Clearly I support small presses. And fyi my daughter has no formal business qualifications so not sure why you're going on about MBAs.

I said small press publishers aren't necessarily business people, but do what they do out of love. You disagreed with that, then implied they are not professional (presumably because they are not business-minded). If these aren't your feelings I'm at a loss about the point of your initial comment.
