I’d like to think we’ve all moved past the days when self-publishing was considered nothing short of sacrilegious. After all, self-publishing is a billion-dollar industry, and wild success stories are becoming more and more common. But even today, the self-publishing stigma still rears its ugly head on occasion.

To sign with an agent or not…that is the question.
The answer seems simple, right? Of course you want to sign with an agent! What idiot would turn down an agent’s offer of representation? Well, looking back at my journey to publication, I wish I would’ve been that idiot. I started writing in 2001 while I was between jobs. I’d just read a historical romance that I hated. And I passionately hated this book. The plot was terrible, the characters were annoying and weak, the dialogue was stilted…it was a complete crapfest. So, I decided, hey, if this piece of garbage can get published, then I need to write my own novel. How hard can it be? |
