Hi all. My name is Joe Kelly. I write SciFi/Noir. I am currently writing books 3 and 4 of an ongoing series.
If anyone else writes Noir I would love to hear from you.
I am currently in a Writing Workshop and have my own writing group.
I also have 12 Beta Readers who have read my first two novels.
As for publication, I am seeking traditional rather than self-publishing.
So far I've had 17 rejections, and have been told, that's just getting started.
I'll be doing some more querying soon.

See you around the boards.

Joe Kelly

Nice meeting you! What's your series about? And what is Noir?

Hi Joe,
Welcome to AW! It sounds like you have great support already :)

17 rejections is just getting started when submitting to agents *glares at people who get agents on the very first try*. Best of luck landing a good agent and getting it published!

Here and now
Welcome Joe!

When you say you write SciFi/Noir does it mean that you write some sort of SciFi/Crime? Or is it a reference to what in France we call "Roman noir", which is this kind of novel that hovers between gothic novel and suspense novel, with a good part of what we call "fantastique", for which I never found a good translation in English?
