Novels

Did you know there are about 15 bazillion literary agents and publishing companies out there?  Here I am, poor little naive me thinking that publishing a novel is as easy as Elizabeth B., no E. Bennett submitting her manuscript to D&G Publishing.

Naw, it's a little more complicated than that!  First you have to find an agent, because no publishing company of note will even take a glance at your work without one.  But each agent has specific tastes and perimeters on the material they want to read.  So finding a perfect match when there are pages after pages of results on google and writers.net is a task and a half!  Then they all say, if you don't hear from us in a couple months, it means no.  So basically, you wait and wait and wait and keep waiting... then wisen up and send it off to someone else.

Well, I'm sure eventually I'll come across somebody who seems interested in reading a probably cliche book by a first time nobody.  It's a good thing I love writing soo much!
