I believe in introductions, so hello! My name is Diana and I am a writer. (Very original...)

I have two children and sometimes I find it necessary to escape into fiction, my characters are usually the only ones I have any control over!

I'm currently unpublished unless you count being gullible and paying $40 for a cheap book just to see one of my poems in print. I've been offerred a contract by one of those companies that insists on an "author investment", but I don't find much flattery in having to pay several thousand dollars for someone to say they like my book. I'm not into paying someone else for my hard work.

Anyhow, hello again and I hope to get to know all you regulars out there!

Welcome Diana. Plenty of information around here on the legitimate publishers and agents, and the dodgy ones to avoid. Enjoy.

Sounds like you've got a good idea of how publishing is supposed to work.
