There are a couple circular links (http://mark---lawrence.blogspot.ca/2016/03/spfbo2.html) but Lawrence facilitated a project to put spotlights on self-published authors and eventually - if through others - a couple of self-published authors landed traditional publishing deals, notably Josiah Bancroft of now Senlin Ascends (https://www.amazon.com/Senlin-Ascends-Books-Babel-1/dp/1482590956) fame.
