Ask Mr. Wizzo!

Response:

While I have not attempted to have anything published myself, many people have told me of how difficult a journey it is. People have spent years and years working on novels, only to have them turned down by every publishing company they sent it to.

There are two solutions.

One would be to put in plenty of hard work, edit it over and over, possibly going broke due to neglecting everything else in your life, and praying for the best. This would be the honest, hard-working person's strategy.

I don't recommend it.

My suggestion, instead, is to start your own publishing company. Possibly putting up everything you own to get the loan to start it up, but that's a risk you'll have to take.

Besides, if you were to take that route, everyone would notice your go-get-'em attitude and give you all the respect in the world.

Unfortunately, if your book sucks, it still won't sell.


But it's the thought that counts, right?
