OK, so both my books have been on sale for a while now, A
Fly on the Ward became available in May 2012 and Humanology was published in
August 2012. I am busy on my third book
which will be entitled, A Fly on the Garden Wall.
So now I have a couple of published books under my belt,
should I try for a literary agent or publishing company this time?
So far I have only published on Amazon. I admit I would love to see some of my work shining alluringly upon the
shelves of bookshops, it’s not quite the same downing to Kindle or other
electronic devices. The trouble is, how does one get a publisher? I am not a famous footballer, nor am I a
popular singer or TV personality and I am certainly not an infamous politician!
So how do I get on those bookshelves? Honestly I haven’t a clue. Maybe I will
start pleading, begging and beseeching some of the more honest and better known
publishers via the good old internet. Actually that’s about the only way one
can contact others these days. The art of letter writing and even the initial
phone conversation are in rapid decline.
It’s not that I want to be rich and famous exactly; I just
wish to be recognised for my work, identified as an author and get paid for
being an author. Will that ever happen?
Some how I doubt it but I will endeavour to seek out the enlightenment
of the illusive publisher as I continue to write.
