I finished writing my first novel, Angel's Symphony, so I'm making sure that I'm going through all the right steps. And seriously, this is not a joke. It's not one those hey-I-wrote-this-frilly-book-and-I-know-it's-destiny-to-get-it-published kind of books.
So what should I do now?
So should I be happy? Should I be scared? What's up ahead? I got a book called "Putting Your Passion to Print" and read a couple publishing things here and there, so I'm going to try to make sure I've gotten everything correct.
-I finished the novel. The whole thing.
-Its fine-tooth comb editing is almost complete
-my last look at my manuscript before printing
-get a synopsis done
-writing 10 personalized query letters every 2 weeks via email or snail mail
-receive replies, and hopefully, there will be good news.
It's a bit brief, but I think that's basically it. I guess it all comes down to how well-written my book is, the plot, and how much I want to get published. There's a lot of other people who'd swim across the atlantic ocean to get their books published, so how do I convince the agents to represent me without having to swim across an ocean? And better yet, how do they react to ages? Of course I'll use YWS as one of my "qualifications", but what else does it take to get their attention?
