ALMA CRISTINA BALAS
I will tell you a real short story.
I went to my editor, I gave her my manuscript, and I said to her, for sure I being very stressed: "I just wait for you to read it to tell me if you like it.".
She, because it is a lady, looked directly into my eyes and said: "But do you like it?".
I was shocked by this question.
And at that moment I just realized that I love it.
So this simple question gave me the courage to publish with my name and to trust in my book.
So, I said to myself, if my book comes to life, it will have at least one fan, me.
My advice is to trust in your work and have the courage to publish it. Maybe you will not be the only one to love it.
