Good day everyone,
I am not too good at introducing myself but I guess I will try. My name is Steven and I currently reside in Maryland. I'm a numbers cruncher professionally (more specifically a money man). I work about fifty hours per week; sometimes more and sometimes less depending on the jobs needs at the time. I do have a family of course which does keep me quite busy.
I came across Absolute Write when looking for reviews on publishers and self-publishers. I gave up trying to find an agent after 67 rejections (that number is still growing as I have a few still out there) so I began researching publishers myself. I got tired of the nearly identical replies in all responses "...I do not feel t[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]hat I am the right agent to represent your work." I guess I was just frustrated at the impersonal approach of the writing industry; even a simple response that either spelled my name or my book correctly would be nice. But alas my personal opinions and problems are no one else's concerns so the true reason I am here...
I'm leaning more towards self-publishing now so I'll be roaming the forums looking into self-publisher reviews.
p.s. sorry it felt good to let off that little huff from my chest in para two. Apologies lol!
