In January of this year, I sent off my manuscript to a publisher. Their website said that it would take 2 to 6 months to get back to me. Being impatient, I have wanted to send my manuscript to other publishers as well, but the publishers I chose do not accept manuscripts that have already been submitted to other publishers. Very frustrating!
There are also numerous publishers that I did not even consider because they do not accept manuscripts that aren't submitted by an agent. So, I sent out some letters to agents. That's right: I am officially in the market for a literary agent!
I made a real New Years resolution this year and it was not to lose weight. It was to get my book published. I really feel that if I can secure a spot with an agent, especially one who works off of 100% commission, then they will work twice as hard to help me get published.
Anyway, this is exciting news and yet another step in my journey as a writer, so I felt compelled to share it with you. I am feeling very confident that getting published is going to happen for me very soon. I just hope that my intuition is right!
