The Easy Way to Publishing Success By Patricia Fry

So you’ve finished your first novel (your memoir or a nonfiction or children’s book) and you’re seeking publication. You’re ready to leave the solitude of your writing den and make yourself known in the publishing community. It shouldn’t take long to snag a publisher. You’ve certainly worked hard on your book. And every relative and friend who has read it gives it a thumbs up. The hard part is over, right? It’s down hill from here, isn’t it? As the title of this article indicates, getting published is easy. Success is just a few decisions away.

Agent Finding

Dear Ms. Hoy,
I have been receiving your newsletter for a short time.I am getting a little confused about the process of getting a book published. I have two very silly children’s books that have been read to two second grade classes and they seemed to really enjoy them. I want them out there. If not for any other reason than to make my dream a reality.
May I please bother you for your time and expertise where publishing two little books are concerned? I want to be a genuine author and I know that I will succeed, once pointed in the right direction.
Thank you and enjoy your day,
Malissa
