So if you do get published, don't sign the contract till you look it over and make sure there aren't any tricks in it.<br />And publishers can demand in the contract that you publish a book a year by their publishing house, so that may do harm to your developing writing skills.Emilyn J Cloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892659942186331664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301712379976680355.post-87391844264873252272012-06-20T15:14:56.934-05:002012-06-20T15:14:56.934-05:00This is really helpful, especially since I'm c...This is really helpful, especially since I'm considering traditionally publishing (or attempting, anyway) a novel this year. Thanks for the insightful post!<br /><br />Also: I was wondering if you would mind much if I posted a review of "The War Horn" on one of my blogs?Casey J.

If it doesn't sell enough, it doesn't necessarily mean that what you've written is terrible, it means that perhaps the publishers didn't do their job to spread the word about the book. This is what happened for two great authors that I have read from.<br />Sharon Hinck and Professor Briggs.<br />So yeah, whether or not you publish traditionally or self publish or create your own publishing house and only publish stuff you and people in your family write(like another author, Andrew Peterson), you still need to advertise your book/s like every day in some way.Emilyn J Cloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892659942186331664noreply@blogger.com
