New years resolution 2013 ...i will forge ahead and get my non fiction/ self help childrens book published.

Have not slept properly since. I have been thoroughly naive about the entire process, now off to seek answers from your extensive past posts

Happy new year everyone.

Hi Erika,

Welcome to the forum! Slow down, tomorrow will come soon enough. Little steps are best in publishing. This is a marathon not a sprint.

ha! yes i am fully appreciating this. gained no headway in several hours just trying to find a literary agent for this genre

Good luck with the literary agent. Be careful of the scammers.

Remember not to pay an agent up front - they take a cut of their success with your manuscript if you can get one to consider it at all.

"...good luck with your book then human..." went the goblin in his welcome, adding "...but while your at it you'll write for us won't you, I mean there are more readers here looking for their next read than most other places on-line and it would be a pity not to entice them towards you by your posts...", and with that the goblin snapped his fingers together to reveal a red carpet lined with snapping paparazzi leading to a black limousine whose awaiting door was held open by the man of her dreams who had promised no doubt take her shopping for those very shoes that other women would just die for but more likely kill for, "...yes but what if erikaluanne turns out to be a man goblin..." interrupted the slot upon hearing the goblin's intro here, "...well I don't know slot, how about we just offer him coffee and doughnuts instead then..." retorted the goblin, adding "...no, let's play safe here, we'll offer the human coffee and doughnuts together with those shoes now...", "...brilliant, but don't make the post too long goblin, you know how, what with this internet now, their agitated state means none of them can read books like they used to...", whereupon the goblin in compliance to the slot's request here just pressed hard upon the post button again suspecting that nobody in their right mind ever read this far anyway
