Sam Barry and Kathi Kamen Goldmark, Authors of "Write That Book Already! The Tough Love You Need to Get Published Now," give some advice for writers on how to get an agent, send out a Query Letter, and what might happen at the first meeting with your publisher.  This full interview from a 2010 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.

A update on my publishing route.

Well I got a response back today about my most recent query to get my novel published.

It was another "Rejection" letter but there is some hope with it: They stated that it was a good idea for a book, but not what they were looking for at this time. They gave me good wishes for me to find a home for this work and wished me good luck in my endeavors.

So, I am working my database of Publishers and continuing to submit to them.

If you are a Publisher or a Literary Agent that is interested in looking over my novel, drop me a line through my Social Media feeds.

I am including a synopsis of my book as an image to save text space.

Current Score: 5 Rejections, 5 In-progress, 1 being worked on

With the release of video (silent) on Midjourney, I just can't stop trying to generate images to animate! It's exceptionally easy, but some formats work better than others. Tutorial.

So excited for my work to be published in this issue!

Sometimes dreams DO come true :)

In July 2018 I completed my first book. Since November 2018 I started sending it to publishers. At the beginning, I was totally confident and happy, but when one cancellation after the other arrived, my self-doubt began to grow. What if I was not good enough? If my friends had lied to me? What if I had no talent? If my story was bad? I got 13 cancellations and the advice of a 'friend' to abandon the book project. But ... that felt wrong. I LOVED my project. It was not the best in the world. It was not a twilight and not a Harry Potter. But it was not bad either. It was a sweet little book that would surely bring joy to someone besides me. And so I tried it on and on and on and on. Until .... until I got a 'Yes’ from a publisher. There are no words to describe how I feel. Since I was 12, this was my biggest dream. And now, it seems like it was going to become reality. ♥ I'm 23 now. I've been writing for over 10 years. And now my first book comes out. So I'll say the following to anyone who reads this: Do not let rejections get you down! Even if nobody believes in you. Even if it seems like nobody wants you! Of course, criticism is important, but ... if you truly and sincerely believe in your book, then share it. Share it so that it can make others as happy as yourself.

Query Letters!

Okay, so I went to school to learn how to write query letters. But the tricky bit of it is when I move onto a new query and a new agency and all of a sudden, everything I learned in school dissipates into thin air like I never learned a thing at all.

I was wondering if I could pick your brains about your experiences with Query letters and what you've done to get through it!

Keep writing writers!

100% Guaranteed to Make You a Better Writer

[booksandpublishing]

To the writers on my feed, I want to share this exciting opportunity with you. The wonderful team at @theemmapress are taking pitches for their next pamphlet run. I’m excited about this because it’s open to both poetry and prose. Because The Emma Press is an excellent publisher. Because some of us aren’t yet confident about our writing but a pamphlet length might be just the thing for us to work on and see where it takes us without being too daunting. I will definitely be submitting my work and I hope you will too. This picture is taken from the press’s website. Please read the submissions guidelines. Deadline is 10th December 2017. Good luck and fingers crossed for us.

After a really great day, I came home to find the Washington Trails magazine in the mailbox with my photo! I’ve never had a photo this big in any magazine. #washingtontrails #wta #washingtontrailsassociation #gettingpublished #lylecherryorchard #columbiarivergorge #hiwalkerphoto #thegoodlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BvGaD2wnziA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jxbnz986e42

After three and a half years of my life and 92,000 words, I'm not going to allow my novel to wallow in the slushy stigma of rejection. I've known about the Two Minute Grab Zone for quite some time and it's time I got to grips with it. https://tessabarrielostblogs.com/expect-the-unexpected/#tessabarrielostblogs #gettingpublished #grabbable https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTB8y3lLgA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8vd1m899vtxg

Exciting things!

For those of you who don’t know, I recently got published last summer! My book, Chasing Shadows by Nikki Stafinski, is available on Amazon!

This past weekend I talked writing and zombies with a fellow writer on his podcast! It was a blast and I’m looking forward to doing it again! If you’re interested in listening in on our conversation, here’s the link below! Also– aspiring writers, Peter’s podcast is a great resource if you’re interested in one day being published or pursuing writing as a career!
