I really do. That's a huge and stressful thing for an author, and it's much worse than the actual writing.<br /><br />However, I'm feeling compelled to say this for some reason, I'm sort of wishing more people were pushing people to go beyond the query. To bypass traditional publishing. It's a sick organization and (I believe) shouldn't be supported.<br /><br />(I was just reading last week from a (fairly) prominent author about another way the big publishers and (many) of the larger agencies have been taking advantage of their authors (and so many of the authors are so desperate to -be- published that they just let it happen.)Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-8064340304301909112012-05-09T12:46:52.598-04:002012-05-09T12:46:52.598-04:00What a great idea.
