In trading emails with a writer friend recently, I did the normal writer catch-up thing which was to give a quick summary of what I’ve been working on.
“I’m trying to get an agent for my novel but that could take a very long time.”
Don’t wait for an agent. Self-publish. I’ve published with a traditional publisher and then went on to self-publish three more books.
Self-publishing gives you control over everything. And it’s a faster way to get your message out there. Your book can still win Awards and get press. Good luck!
Thanks for this, Franke. I'm definitely exploring my options. Traditional publishing, small press, self-publishing. I'll see where it all shakes out. Great to hear from you!
Thanks, Bob. Indeed. We just keep showing up.

Great! Who knows, maybe your novel will catch someone’s attention and be made into a movie 🎥🍿
Love this great reminder!
