Finding a Publisher

Alas, I’ve been bamboozled! You tricked me into reading this post with the promise that you had the answer of how to find that elusive publisher (all the harder if you write memoir and are nobody). You, sir, shall regret your trickery. 😉

Your post made me remember the process by which my mom’s first book made it to market. First she opened the letter from the agent congratulating her on having the manuscript accepted by Avalon. Then he went on to add that all she needed to do now was cut the word count in half! Mom wasn’t quite sure whether to laugh or cry but she quickly went to work on the Smith Corona and -“The Sea People” shrank to it’s current 221 page length. (she also wasn’t delighted that they made her use a man’s name as her pen name!) Thanks for bringing back those memories. Blessings…

I decided quite a while back that I would probably have to settle for writing “with fire and joy.” 😉

Mitch says “…l’insecurite” and “l’arrogance,” and never have to purchase either one–they’re pheromones. ”
I love it! It is indisputable.
