It's rather interesting how many writers yearn to be published.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-54421007390768721832012-01-20T20:18:08.487-05:002012-01-20T20:18:08.487-05:00Boy, I wish I lived near Perth.

I am writing a novel and could sure use some tips on getting it published. May just go the Amazon publish your book thing. I have no idea how to get an agent, even.Latane Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745676377589651275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-49914846568276996782012-01-20T19:50:31.214-05:002012-01-20T19:50:31.214-05:00What a lovely photo, Jenn.

I told her I was having a quiet, post-publication day, and said I would do her a favor — edit her story and send it back to her.<br />I fully expected another phone call, but none came. The sailing club reports continued, and I didn't give the woman much thought until a few years later when I was back to working in my family's printing shop. A women's group was publishing a book of stories by BC women, and we were printing it. This woman had written one of the stories. She'd taken my advice to heart and had improved enormously. I was so proud of her.Kay L.
