So from what I've heard from around there from friends and others that have already gone through the processes of becoming published (I am thinking positively because that's a dream of mine), I've briefly researched the internet and have found that it's very helpful to get an agent to represent and sell your book. Like I said in my previous post, I've signed up for a writer's conference in June and I am looking forward to it. I thought about sending some queries to some agents just to try it out and see where it would take me. I sent out three email queries. Of the three queries I sent I heard from one of them, and unfortunately I was rejected. Although my heart almost skipped a beat when I saw his reply in my email, the result was that he didn't think my book would be a good project for him then. He was very cordial and ended his response with hopes that I would find the right agent. I'm grateful for that experience. You're probably reading this and thinking that I don't know what I'm doing, and you are right. This is a first for me. But There's isn't anything I haven't accomplished that I've put my effort into (oh, except those piano lessons. I wish I would have stuck with them.)
If you have any insights on writing a book, publishing, or literary agents, then don't hesitate to contact me.
And I will keep on writing.
