Another Question...

Yokomsa:
Would you be willing to start a list literary publishing companies that when the time comes, I can send my packet and start to get my rejection letters?  I plan on keeping every letter until I get the acceptance letter!  :P

ballplayer72:
hey thats a good idea, cause then when you become a super famous writer, you can send the rejection letters back with a little note saying "i told you so" ;D

Josh:
Are you planning on sending your stories directly to a publisher, or do you want to try and get a literary agent first? Two very different areas of the business. For publishers, check out:

For literary agents, do a search on AgentQuery.com and cross-check with Preditors and Editors (http://anotherealm.com/prededitors/pubagent.htm)

There are other, more detailed links under the Writers Resources spot on my website. If you have anymore questions, hoist 'em up here.

Yokomsa:
I think that I should get an agent because family isn't objective!

This is all so new to me and I really thank you for the link to your personal website.  I am planning to pour over the other websites as well.

I finally decided to get serious about my writing when I took my hubby (who is the Dresden Fan and I am a fan of the writer) to meet Jim Butcher. (Jim lives 1/2 hour from me) and he said some things that I really took to heart.  Then a few years back I met Janet Evanovich and she explained her mechanics of writing.  So between the 2 of them, I am developing my own style.

Right now, I am in the process of profiling my characters, outlining the book, and writing down random thoughts of brillance.  Once I have that in place, the words will flow.

Here is an interesting thought-   Harry Dresden and Stephanie Plum... WIERD hookup!!

Richelle Mead:
I've said this a dozen times around here, but I definitely recommend literary agents.  Predators and Editors is a great site for agent info too, and be sure to check out ones like AbsoluteWrite and Backspace too.  Good luck!
