Getting
Published
The following is a
direct quote from a recent e-mail. It is typical of a great number of e-mails we
receive every day. We have asked the author for permission to use it, just as
she wrote it, below:
“While surfing
the Net for book publishers, I came across information about your company. I
have never had a book published although I have been trying for many years. As
I’m sure you already know, most publishers don’t accept unsolicited
manuscripts.
“I was told to
get an agent. I immediately hired an agent but all he did was take my money. He
did absolutely nothing.
“I looked into
self-publishing, but I was shocked by the outrageous price certain companies
wanted to print the books. To print one book, a particular company wanted
$5,000.00! Needless to say, I bowed out and began looking again.
“Other places
were $99.00, but they gave no help at all.
“I am looking
for someone who can give a new writer a much needed break. I write Christian
fiction. Can you help me? I will be waiting to hear from you. Thank you very
much.”
