publishing and agents…
© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008
Everyone tells me that you should have an agent if you want to get your book into one of the bigger publishing houses. A short search for agents turns up quiet a few - but most of them do not accept new submissions.
On top of that most publishing houses do not take proposals coming directly from the author as serious as the ones from an agent. Leading a great many authors to go with POD or vanity press. Especially when they want their book to be published fast.

Would you buy a POD book?

POD’s are one alternative. But the reality is you have to be able to basically sell the book your self.
I’ve been wandering the literary maze for years and the only thing I really have come to appreciate it there are no guarantees. In the end you either write because you love to or you give up.
Good luck.
