"With mixed apprehension and excitement, he began his first thread at Absolute Write Water Cooler..."
Hi.
I am new here and this is my introductory post.
I am near completion of a manuscript for my first novel and would appreciate an advice/information on how to go about publishing it.
Direct to publishers--if so, recommendations?
Through agent--also, any recommendations?
Just to narrow down a bit if anybody wants a little more information about what I've written--it is a ficticious adventure novel, with some romantic elements (boy-girl), and a couple of adult situations--nothing overly graphic, but it's probably PG-13 at least.
Also, I reside outside of the US and wonder what the procedures are for working with publishers/agents in the US? (contracts, tax laws, methods of payment --if published!)
I know how difficult it is for a first-timer to get published, but it is obviously possible. I would appreciate anyone who can share info and his/her experiences.
