Going the literary agent route might take you to the land of Published as fast as anything.<br /><br />If it doesn't, find the promised land via small press or publisher. You will learn a tremendous amount of the ways, whys, and hows of this business.<br /><br />Go self-pub but only after you've learned the ropes. You can screw up your brand with a bad book. Don't get too eager. Don't rush it. <br /><br />I know, you want published. You want to be the debut author who submits to 16 agents, gets a contract, published in two years, and makes the New York Times Bestseller list. But that doesn't happen very often.<br />Huntresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155372788872245758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-61167129887367178182015-03-25T11:07:40.038-05:002015-03-25T11:07:40.038-05:00I went on my own with "It's Not Just A Jo...I went on my own with "It's Not Just A Job."
