I have a friend who has been very successful self publishing. As a result of that she was offered a book deal with Penquin. Guess what? she lost a lot of creative control over this particular book and went back to self-publishing as she realised she loved having full control over her marketing, building her audience (which she did from scratch) and her royalty payments! I found this to be so inspiring that I ditched the idea of reaching out to publishers who might not see the value in my work yet. I'm sure you have your reasons for choosing the route you are taking and I love to hear about women succeeding with this. Good luck! it sounds like a great project, best wishes Rachael
