[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's very hard for most, not so hard for others. Ten years ago my workshop group at one of the big 3 writers' conferences had 10 or so people in it. At this point, the majority of the folks have published books with reputable houses, some of them quite successful (one of them was what is called a "make book" -- the publishers set out to market it heavily and it made some lists and she made a lot of money). But it isn't easy to get into the big 3 conferences, so everyone had demonstrated a modicum of talent just by being admitted. It can actually get harder as you get into your second and third book. A friend of mine who has had multiple NYT notable book mentions will sigh and tell you "The advances just keep getting smaller and smaller." [/quote] I'm this PP. I'll add -- no one from my MFA in creative writing program has published a book. So ... certainly not "easy." [/quote]
