Publishing?

Publishing?

Well, you can call yourself a writer now. You have just finished your first novel this morning, all one hundred thousand words of it.

You’ve popped it into an envelope and have it half way into the post box on the corner.

All you have to do is let it drop and it’ll be on its way to the publisher. Your first check will be in the return post next week.

Go ahead, drop it. I dare you.

Oh dear, now you’re worried.

What if it’s rejected? What if they say it’s no good? What if your writing stinks.

Welcome to the life of a writer. Fame, fortune, riches, oh, sorry, I was thinking of winning the lotto.


Welcome to the life of a writer. Rejection, rejection, rejection, rejection.

Don’t blame me, your being a writer wasn’t my idea. It’s self-inflicted and there is no sympathy.

Getting work published is hard. No matter how good your novel is. Especially if it’s your first work.

There is a way to improve your chances though, it’s called “EDITING”.
