[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have also worked in publishing in many years. Unless you really can't bear not to, the best thing to do is not to bother getting published. It's brutal and thankless. But if you have the drive, then the advice here is decent.[/quote] NP and i’d love to hear more about this from those of you who worked in publishing/are authors. [/quote] I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s brutal and thankless … I actually find it less work than self publishing (if you want to self publish and make your work stand out, you need to put a bunch of money out up front for editing, designers, etc). Unless your book sells really well, you will likely not make your advance back or you won’t make much after the advance. I would say writing books in general is not a lucrative career which is why it’s hard to make a decent living solely as an author.[/quote]
