Kristin Louise Duncombe commented on Brooke Warner's article Best Practices for Selling Your Book to Agents and Editors (or How to Avoid Being Delusional about Getting Published)

November 2015

Hi Brooke Thanks for your reply. I am feeling really torn right now. My first book sat with an agent for six months. He only pitched it to the big five, and when they passed he let me go, saying "if they won't buy it no one will." I self...

November 2015

May 2015
