I have been shy for a longtime about presenting my poetry book, on your first work did you have doubts about your work?
Werner A. Lind
Not really; but it took me a long time (over 20 years --working on it in bits and pieces between working and raising kids) to get it to the point where I thought it was good enough to submit to publishers. (I'd also invested in having it professionally edited.) It helped a lot that my wife served as my faithful (and critical) beta reader --once she liked it and was satisfied with it, I was pretty sure there were other readers out there who'd feel the same way!
