If you're not going to receive a large advance from a traditional publisher, does it really make sense to pursue the traditional publisher route? Why not try publishing The Author's Self-Publishing Press way?

No! This is a public service provided to authors at no cost. The fact is that traditional publishers are offering fewer and smaller advances.

Rather than accepting rejection, independent filmmakers and musicians have been for years investing in their works because they believe in them and believe in getting the work finished and to the public. I'm sure without too much thought, you can think of half a dozen films and bands that have hit the big time after going the independent route. The question is would have that happened had they never given audiences the opportunity to decide if their work was good?

That's the opportunity The Author's Community Self-Publishing Press provides authors. If your goal is to get published, waiting patiently for another round of rejection letters is not going to get you any closer to that goal.

The publishing industry is not set up that way. They are setup to make the money first and then after you have sold a 1,000 copies of your book you can start receiving a small percentage. Most publishers want you to pay hundreds of dollars up-front to agree to publish your book. Additionally, you will most likely have to pay for cover art, placement, promotional campaigns, table placement at book fairs, etc.. By the time all is done, you will have entered in to a part-time job promoting your book, and have had given thousands to your publisher before ever making $1 back from them.

Why hassle with all that? Publishing your book should be liberating, not burdensome. Let The Author's Community Self-Publishing Press do it all for you, getting your book in the hands of readers, freeing yourself to write you next book. After all isn't that the point of it anyway?
