Re: Need info on publishing


Shame this showed up here. It was supposed to be emailed directly to
the author. I suppose Google giveth, and Google taketh away. Goddess
forbid I should disturb the free flow of bile.

This is a joke, right? I suppose it's true, Stephen King and Saul
Bellow and Norman Mailer *did* get most of their early advice from Hope
and Zen and the other discarded zygotes that fester here.

Inquire of publishers who publish such books first. You'll be asked to
submit a proposal - an outline of chapters and a synopsis, plus perhaps
a sample chapter.

No you won't. You must NOT "inquire" of publishers, because you'll be
wasting their time and yours.

You've done nonfiction before? It doesn't seem so. I think Mr. Wells
should find some authoritative books on nonfiction writing and get his
advice there.

Alternatively, put your money on a horse.

Hee, hee. MW is still the shithole of negativity it has been for 5
years. Sad. I once had a lot of fun here.

Ta-da,
