Thanks for dropping by my blog, meant to document the publishing process of my YA fiction book, THE DISAPPEARED. Any writer knows the publishing process is harrowing, but it’s also a little like smoking crack, too. The response to your query; the email from a publisher; the communication, in one form or another, of someone who is in the business, day in and day out, is like a total drug rush. Total. Even if it’s a rejection, I still get the high. So I keep pursuing it. Even when it consumes me. I just hope I have a network of peeps out there who will intervene before I wind up in an alleyway, arms folded across my chest, rocking back and forth asking passers-by for old copies of WRITERS’ MARKET. “Spare a sample query, ma’am?”
