Many stories I've heard of successful authors such as Elizabeth Gilbert (author of "Eat, Pray, Love") or Jack Canfield (who started the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series), involve years of struggle and rejection before a publisher finally says yes. There was a time when this was the only option for aspiring writers.
However, the world is changing. Now any author can write a book and make it available in the world's most popular book store. Getting people to notice the book is a different question -- that is an area where traditional publishers excel, due to their resources and expertise. But many authors, even those who have previously published through traditional channels, are embracing the unprecedented opportunity that self-publishing presents.
One advantage to self-publishing is that you get to keep the rights to your content. In the traditional publishing world, books with declining sales are discontinued and authors cannot print them because they no longer own the rights. If you want continuous availability for your published works, self-publishing may be the preferred option.
A hybrid publisher may be a good approach for some authors. These publishers attempt to combine the best of the traditional and self-publishing channels. They may provide some editing and marketing services while still allowing you to keep the rights to your own book.
The bottom line is that today's publishing world is an ocean of opportunity. It's no longer necessary to wade through a hundred rejections before finally being accepted by a publisher. The only acceptance that is needed now is you deciding to share your talents.
