On getting published:

I have many writer friends, some possibly more talented than I, but few with agents or publishers. The difference is, I have read every book about publishing that I could get my hands on. I sent out more than one hundred query letters and probably twenty book proposals. I also enlisted a writing consultant to help me compose the query letter and design the proposal. Then in one day, I got phone calls from two agents. Two in one day! After how many polite rejections? I chose Barbara Braun for her experience and her enthusiasm. (www.barbarabraunagency.com) A few months later she had two publishers competing for the book.
The moral of the story is, don't give up. If you believe you have something important to say, keep at it. And get help from books, writers groups and consultants. Mine was Dorothy Wall at www.dorothywall.com.
