It's time for me to try traditionally publishing
Life is going to heck in a hand basket, so I'm going to see if I can try what I've always wanted to do and make a living off writing.
I've got quite a few projects that are in various stages of done.
And, thanks to the events outside of my control, I feel just insane enough to try to finish and publish them!
Here's the plan so far
Goals:
Make a list of agents
Make a list of agencies
Make a list of publishers
Go through my projects and identify books/projects/anything workable really
Identity project genres and come up with connections
Write good blurbs for each project
Write letters to send to agents/agencies/publishers
Send 100 letters
Receive 100 rejections or one full approval
Rough Timeline
Gather all lists components before September 14th
Have all blurbs, lists, and letters written before the end of September
Send 100 letters by December 30th
If no approvals are received by Dec 30th, make a new plan
My ultimate goal though is just to get through the situation I've landed in. This is all hopes and dreams, sure, but we'll see how it turns out.
Here's hoping.
how do you think this is going to turn out?
You got this in the bag!
Good plan, but don't be discouraged if it takes a little longer than you expect
Bad plan, you need to fix XYZ to succeed (put in comments)
You totally don't got this, but good luck anyway
I can help/am interested/know someone who can help! (DM directly)
I just want to push a button/don't have thoughts/feel like picking fights
