Going On Sub - can anyone share?

detroitgirl · Jan 24, 2018

HOWDY!

SO I was wondering ! are there any fine folks out there who have gone out on sub with their agent and lived to tell about it (and would be willing to SHARE

)

i am at this (exciting, terrifying, nail biting) stage and........just would love to hear other's stories. Hard to find em online.

It might not help, exactly, but I know it would be better than eating stale gummy bears and refreshing my email and twitter every 15 seconds.

THANKY!

THANKY!

Er, what do you want shared? The best way to survive is not to think about it and start working on a new book.* Because, realistically, going out on sub, even with an agent, is not at all a guarantee of a sale.

*Either that or start looking for a better substitute for stale gummy bears. Trader Joe's roasted Marcona almonds with rosemary are much nicer and even semi-healthy. I buy 'em four bags at a time.

I think we have a whole forum page for that somewhere - but I can't find it! It used to be called the Third Circle of Hell or something.

Will keep looking. Good luck, DetroitGirl. Breathe. Step away from the gummy bears.

ETA: Found it!

YES! Come join the Next Circle of Hell. It helps to stave of the madness caused by waiting for a response when there are others in the same boat.
Best of luck with the sub detroitgirl!
