Hi all this is my first time posting on here so first helo to everyone. Anyway my question is I have already published my novel here but I am considering approaching traditional publishers/agents. This is mainly as I was given conflicting advice regarding POD and it's only know (after speaking with a manager at a Waterstones branch) I realising some of the downsides of having go down this route(I had planned to POD while looking for a traditional publisher).
Does anyone have any advice about going about it. i.e do I mention the fact up front in the initial query that the novel has already been self published or wait to see if they request a manuscript first and then mention it?
Judging by some of the posts here I may have shot myself in the foot by POD self-publishing first but I'll still going to try.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot
