我倾向于准备好了便发布，当我了解有一大批拥有出色新作品的自由职业者有好几年没更新自己的作品集了(是的，有好些年头)。

I tend to post something as soon as possible, but I know a ton of freelancers with awesome new work whose portfolios haven't been updated in years (yes that's years).

一些新作者排斥原有的出版模式，也自己销售他们的作品。

New authors excluded from the existing food chain will sell their own e-titles, too.

235新作家往往无法使大型有威望的出版商相信他们的作品是有市场的，因此他们必须首先找一些较小的、知名度不那么高的出版社出版作品来建立自己的销售记录。

New writers usually cannot convince large, prestigious publishers that their work is marketable, so they must first publish with smaller, less well-known presses to establish a sales record.
