This is what writing is about......

A few of you have recently read my 1st thread, about being from PA. In the start of my writing, I was all bubbly inside, about being accepted as a new author. But, now I feel sick to my stomach, with the worst feeling in the world about my book that was put out. Granted it may not have been top notch. But, I have every reason to think, that if a LEGIT publisher would have gotten a hold of it, it could have been wonderful.

But, this is the other side now. I see that people here aren't bashing agents and what they CAN'T do for you. But, what they WILL do for you.

People here want others to read their books, not just pass it around to author to author, family, and friends. But, people who have no direct link to us what so ever, read our books.

I want to SEE my book on a bookshelf, not just browsing around the internet. I want someone to help me become what I know I can be, an author.
Thanks again cooler!

Exactly how I felt when I came here from PA after the honeymoon period came to an end and the royalty check arrived. Now several members have helped to crit some of my work and improve the way I write. I have learned how to present a munuscript properly and how to write an effective query letter - -all through membership here. This place has helped me to keep writing and to believe in myself. I continue to work on my writing and submit to publishers. I hope that you will find similar encouragement and practical help here also.
