YouTube video by Annie P My Husband Picks My Reads And Doesn't Know It | November TBR

I asked my husband to give me random numbers corresponding to books on my unread shelves, to building my November TBR - and here's what happened!

Regardless of what route you take - traditional, small press, self-publish - you'll have to do most, if not all, of the marketing yourself. Unfortunately, these days, it's rare for publishers to invest in new authors.

Small presses don't require you to have an agents, bigger publishers do.
It's a very slow process and it's a numbers game - you only have to find one person who believes in your book as much as you do, but it may take 100+ submissions to find them.
(2/3)

I can only really echo what other people have already said.
For nonfiction, you send an outline and sample chapters to agents and/or publishers.
For fiction, you need to have completed the book and send a synopsis and first three chapters to agents and/or publishers. (1/3)

Coming back from a retreat is usually really hard, but not so much when the work you're coming back to is really fun!

Isn't it strange that not having any paid work to do makes it harder to find the motivation to do other things as well...

Trying to get back into a 'work-style' routine this week, despite not having any work...
