Option number 1 (if a regular, traditional publisher picks up your book) can often get you more money and get your book into more hands compared to self-publishing.

The Oracle at Delphi. Dating back to 1400 BC, the Oracle of Delphi was the most important shrine in all Greece, and in theory all Greeks respected its independence. Built around a sacred spring, Delphi was considered to be the omphalos-the center (literally navel) of the world.
The name Delphi derives from the Oracle of Delphi. The authors of the method were not happy with this name, because it implies something oracular, something smacking a little of the occult. The Delphi method is based on the assumption that group judgments are more valid than individual judgments.he person coordinating the Delphi method is usually known as a facilitator or Leader, and facilitates the responses of their panel of experts, who are selected for a reason, usually that they hold knowledge on an opinion or view.
