It's always great to hear about an author on the forums who's published a story, poem or book.
I'd like to hear about the trials along the way.
What worked?
What didn't?
What type of advice can you provide to others?
What are/were your criterias for success?
When did you or will you feel like you've reached them?
So many questions, I'm sure many of you can create a few of your own.
Let's make this thread a place where we can ask each other questions about the publishing market and share the research and experiences we've learned.
Authors wanting to be published: ask away.
Published authors: please share.
