I’ve been writing for more than 26 years. I’ve seen so many changes in the industry and it’s still changing.
When I started back in 2000, the only way people could find your book was if you were picked up by a big publishing house. It meant submitting manuscripts, hoping yours would make it out of the slush pile into an editor’s hands and heart. I waited up to three years for some to come back with lovely rejection letters until I finally got an offer from Dorchester Publishing and then Harlequin.
A few years later, ebooks emerged as another way readers could enjoy stories. Things changed fast and soon writers could publish their own books through Amazon, Nook, Apple, Google, and more.
And the industry continues to change. That’s why I’m in Vegas, attending a writer’s conference to learn, adapt and keep changing to bring stories to the readers.
It’s been a wild ride! Thanks for coming along with me!
