So I'm am currently writing a fantasy book series, The Chronicles of Maridemore about this Irish kid named Will O'Shaughnessy (yay for family names!) If you go to my website (actually just my deviantart account) you can see lots of picture from the series... however, I have not posted the story anywhere online because I'm kinda private about it and right now I'm only letting people I know in person read it. It's on my friends' and my personal message board, but it can only be accessed by passwords and stuff. So. Um, yeah, no strangers have read it.
This is probably a problem, because I'm trying to get it published. However, that's exactly why I don't want to post it anywhere. Because I want to get it published and... yeah.
So currently the complete 252 page manuscript rests on my desk at the moment, waiting to be edited. However, I'm far to busy writing the sequel (already 100 pages and I'm only on chapter four) to edit it. Which is ALSO a problem.
But basically, here is where I'm going to post about my trials and tribulations in trying to become a published writer, my life's dream.
The first book is called The Awakening; the second book is called Strange Magic. (Yeah, like the song.)
But if anyone has any publishing advice for me, I'd appreciate it. I have the Jeff Herman Giude to Agents, Editors and Publishers, which is a really helpful resource, especially as I'm soon going to be writing and sending out query letters to possible agencies. But any advice from people who know how the publishing system works... thanks much!
(PS. Is it weird for a fifteen-year-old to be sending out a book manuscript?)
