Your first step to publishing that manuscript

March 4, 2008

Your manuscript is finished. You DID IT!

GO you!
And you’ll have to edit it of course, but after that?
What, exactly do you DO now?

Well, the first thing you need to do is decide what you’re going to do.
Should you query agents? Publishers? Go it ‘yourself’?

This can be a difficult decision for authors - because they can’t make up thier mind whether to risk possible rejection, or take a chance on the big contract.
I’ve got a different view on it all to be honest. I have a lot of books that are self published, and some that are tradtionally published, and though I’ve aimed high, my decision is based on how I’d perform ‘midlist’.

Interviewees required

I’m looking for interviewees, for books/blog posts/articles, so I’ve added this category, and would be grateful if you could get in touch if you can help :)

Subject: Children with behavioural issues - trollling for parents, carers and teachers

 

Hi guys - I’m setting up a website for parents with kids, with behavioural issues.

I’m looking for parents to interview, offer anecdotes ‘etc’ - for the moment it’s just the blog, but I am looking at writing a book, once we find the ‘magic’ tactic that works with my little one, and others.
