The Small Step & The Giant Leap - Taking Writing as a Hobby to the Next Level

"There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein." - Walter Wellesley "Red" Smith

Kat Holmes LOL I have no clue about agents and things like that. I submit directly to my publisher. I can say ebooks are a great way to go. They are growing and ebook publishers are always looking for great new talent.

Ah, I see. Very awesome. I'm in the queries and submissions process now. I got anxious and self-published my first book, and even though it's doing relatively well with my promotions, I aspire to publish traditionally, of course.. :D

If you have any tips or tricks for landing an agent/publisher, (aside from being an amazing writer, lol) I'd love to hear them :D

I'll be checking out your books!

Kat Holmes Well I've been writing for years but an author friend of mine encouraged me last year to try submitting. It paid off.
