Excellent insights--especially liked your comments at the very end. It is good to see content where the reality of getting traditionally published is not sugar-coated, but you don't inject the "abandon all hope ye that enter here" mindset that hovers in many of these discussions. Thank you for the solid and positive information.

Thank you for this! Great information! What genre does channeling fall into? Would I need a platform for that?

WAit, why would I want a literary agent and publishing house if the royalties are low and i ultimately won't be the recipient of all my earnings?
