[quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of not-great information in this thread. I'm published traditionally with multiple novels. Most debut books have many years of work that went into them, and/or multiple books that were written that never sold (or never got the author an agent in the first place). For nonfiction and memoir you need a platform of some kind. A zillion followers on TikTok, a podcast with a good following, etc. For fiction that's much less important. I'd recommend looking into the writing societies that exist for the type of writing you want to do--romance, mystery, children's books, etc. There should be many resources for you there. If you don't have a finished project, focus on that. Having critique partners is good if you can find people who are roughly at the same spot you are whose feedback you value. [/quote]
