If you are writing your first novel, or even have been published I would like to suggest a great book. "Your First Novel" by Ann Rittenberg and Laura Whitcomb. I bought this book some time back and started to read it, but stopped. See I thought to myself,
"self, you are published, you took two years CW, and you have written two novels and have 6 starts, you do not need this book".
But as time went on I started thinking to myself,
"self that is arrogant and un-humble, you need to adjust your view of yourself."
So I went to my office (in my house) and took the book from the shelf and started reading. I am glad I did. There is a ton of excellent information in that book. I also learned that Ann Rittenberg is a publisher and has a website for such.
So if reaching out for the first time in writing, get the book and read it FIRST. It is a great investment of your time.
