This helps so much as I am really getting into writing my first book. I will be applying the saty focused website.

I love your videos, they are super informative. I am a new writer and am currently editing my first novel and your videos have been super helpful.

I made a living as a writer for thirty years, and only retired when my health completely crashed. There's some good advice here. One thing, however, is not totally accurate. Even today, there are a few very good traditional publishers that do not require a literary agent for your first novel. Because of thjis, the competition is extra keen at these publishers, but agent or not, the competition is keen everywhere.

I'd also add this. I still see too many new writers who try to break in by selling short styories. This is a very bad idea. Short story space is very, very slim at any magazine, and you're competeing directly with the best writers in the world. Even if you write a story that's just as good as the one a known writer submits, the magazine will always take the story by the known writer because that name on the cover will draw readers.

To sell a short tsory to a good, paying magazine, and often even to a no-pay literay type magazine, your story has to be better than any story the editor sees from top writerss during that submission period.

This doesn't mean it can't be done. I did it. Robert Heinlein did it. And I know at least a dozen other writers who did it. I know several who have done it in the last two years. But you have to measure this against the hundreds of thousands who failed.

The simple fact you that selling a novel to a traditional publisher is at least a hundred times easier than selling a short story to a magazine good enough to give you a meaningful credit. With novels, you do not compete against big name writers. Their novel are goinbg to sell, regardles of who else gets published. Your competition is the worst writer who have sold a novel to that publisher. And if your novel is good enough, you don't even have to compete with those writers. The publisher will find a slot for your book.

Nonfiction is different. So different I can't even give advice on it. I will say that you should only listen to writers who have successfully sold a nonfiction book that's roughly on par with your to a traditional publisher. You'll get ten million words of advice, and 99% of it will be bad. The gold will come from writers who have actually been there and done that, or from agents who have sold such books.

Neat, thanks. I created Google alerts for me and my blog.

I definitely should time my typing speed.
