Self-publication, alas, often ends up making a black mark on your track record to traditional publishers, as it says the following: 1. I don't want to go through the quality checks required to get traditionally published, and therefore am likely unwilling to go back and re-edit. 2. Regardless of my quality, I still want the ego hit of being read. 3. I don't care how marketable my tale is, just that it's out there. Which for publishers that want high quality books that sell in order to get their return on investment, is not a good look. I'd try to downplay any self-publication you've done in more serious publishing ventures.
