| Introduction | After 26 years of talking about it, I have finally written a novel. This blog is less of a blog than a collection of excerpts from said novel, along with a slew of tales of frustration and (hopefully!) eventual success in the publishing industry. I hope to create both a resource for other writers trying to find their way through this ever-evolving maze of protocol and business, as well as a forum for discussion about the publishing industry. Here, then, for your amusement, are my foibles. |
