What a task!
Getting published, that is (which I haven't, yet) is almost a full-time
job in and of itself. I have edited, edited, and edited again. The manuscript has gone
through a beta-read. And now, as an agent has confirmed to me, it needs to go to
a professional, freelance copy/line editor. The market is so incredibly
competitive, I'm told, that most agents now look for any excuse to reject a
manuscript! One agent showed a stack of manuscripts his agency had
received over a 30-day period, the two piles (one being self-published
books for evaluation) were probably 2 1/2 feet tall between them! That
was for 30 days! No wonder it's so difficult to get published!
Stay tuned!
