Getting Published is Hard
Heck, getting an agent is hard....ah...but the joy of writing makes up for it.

I wrote two "inspirational stories" and a small series of five sci fi books....I suppose they'd mostly be for young adult readers,....I had a whole lot of fun writing, but actually getting into the publishing world is hard.

Yeah, Publishing is difficult - JKRowling had trouble with it to begin with!

It's very difficult indeed
But otherwise bookstores would be full of crap

It was a general comment.
Heeey, Julie, that sounds like a trial or something

I write too and I so will be published. Getting an agent is very much possibly, especially with a good query letter and cover letter. But essentially, the writing speaks for itself.

er most publishers won't even look at your material unless you have a good agent....and agents have their own agenda in specializing......some only do adult fiction or nonfiction....some only do mysteries, romance, etc...
