I wrote a pretty good short story a few years ago called Bloomers <-(click to read).

A neighbor (Ryan) who’s a pretty good artist has begun to illustrate it with plans to self publish, but a friend just pointed out that I ought to send it off to a publisher.

An established publisher could do a lot more with it than me. And publishers prefer to choose their own artist.

So give me your feedback – should I have Ryan quit illustrating it (he has developed some good concepts but hasn’t gotten very far) and send it off to a publisher instead?
