The business has changed so much since people started making end runs around editors and the print media. I imagine you have a bigger audience here than you would if you published your manuscript--unless you were "somebody." I lost count of the editors who told me, "Your writing is great. We'd love to publish your stuff--if only people had heard of you!" (To which I itched to respond, "And how will they hear of me unless I get published?") Only one of my 5 books is still selling (Gianna: Aborted and Lived to Tell About It) and the fifth, To Russia with Love, about our family sailing to the USSR during the Cold War to protest Soviet nuclear testing (published by a university press) is so newly out we don't know yet. Wish I could help you!Jessica Renshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06772797916085422429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-27608268916827279682011-04-06T21:22:05.016+01:002011-04-06T21:22:05.016+01:00...
