I'm not a published novelist, mind you, but my advice would be to send it off to a few traditional publishers and at least be rejected before you just POD it. I think every author gets to a point where they wonder if anyone will want to read what they've written. You should buy the 2008 Novel and Short Story Writer's Market and the Christian Writer's Market. You might be able to leverage your local support to influence publishers. Who knows?
I think once you self-publish a book it's unlikely a traditional publisher would want it. I've heard of people getting a book deal based on a self-published book, but the publisher didn't pick up the self-published one.
Anyway, good luck. I'm still working on my novel. After I finish, maybe we can trade?
