Many years ago, I sought out literary agents through query letters, for possible representation to publish my novels. I repeated the process over and over again.
Then, I heard about self-publishing and was curious about it. I researched it--I read about vanity presses and didn't want to go down that route--and then decided to dip my toes into the self-publishing waters in April 2012. It was a small nonfiction book, but at the same time I was still writing and submitting with minimal success.
Once I dipped my toe in and researched more on it, I tried one last push for an agent, even connecting with them on social media . . . but in the end I self-published my books and have never looked back.
Will this work for everyone?
Everyone's path to success is different. But when something doesn't work right away, don't dismiss it right away.
Some things take longer than others.
Patience . . .
