Hi ya all!
I'm Sandra :)
I would like to hear some opinions of my work :)
Oh, and I figured out since here are so many good and smart people that someone will hopefully answer my.. well.. let's call it question
grin.gif

So, here's the deal.
I have written a fantasy, fiction, action, adventure, romance, mystery book.
Everything is completed.
The cover... the proof reading.. I also have the ISBN number..
And here's the problem.
I am from a country in Europe called Croatia.
Publishers here aren't interested in publishing on English.
Do you have some recommendations?
It is the first book that contains 10 chapter on 160 pages.
I'm writing the sequel too.
Any help?
Suggestions?

Here is the first chapter : http://storywrite.com/story/9536135-The_Lost_Memories_-_Book_One_-_Chapter_One-by-orifiel

And the second one : http://storywrite.com/story/9549061-The_Lost_Memories_-_Book_One_-_Chapter_Two-by-orifiel

If someone's really interested I could share the rest too ;)
Thank you all!

Hi Orifiel! :welcome: to the Pub!! Lot's of people here that can help answer you question... but, you should first go to the Newbie Guide for quick and helpful suggestions to find what you are looking for. Posting a link for your chapters in the Pub is not really the place. You need to go to YA/MG -- whichever your genre is and post your entire chapter there for critique. However, you must first accumulate at least 50 posts before you can post there. The best way to do that is to go in and critique some stories yourself. It helps you to increase your points and also is a way of introducing yourself to the peeps there.

Here at the Pub, we offer some guidance, answer some questions... mostly we come here for the friends, food, drink and what-have-you! So, go do a little reading in the Newbie Guide, browse around the different forums to get a feel of how things work then come on back to the Pub for some fun! :D

Hey Zanzjan,

Many thanks for your comments and suggestions re what to do with my once published now reshelved novel. :) It's good to hear I'm not alone with this dilemia. I feel like an idiot over this situation. Yes, cannibalizing it is a great idea. I even like the sound of that, just gobble up the good stuff and leave the bad stuff alone.

Thank you. Really, it's so embarassing sometimes trying to be a writer, I feel like a bumbling fool at times, like every bit of me is on display for the whole world to laugh at. It helps to hear from other folks out there.

Yep. Make a backup copy just in case you need to go back for something later that you don't think you need now, then cut & paste and mercilessly chop away. Gordon Ramsey that novel! You can even make little horror movie/psycho reee-reee-reee sounds every time you cut a section, if it helps.

We really do all feel like that, sometimes. Another reason why AW is great: you're never alone :)
