Hi all,
Last week I commented on the theme of the novel that I'm busy now (the clerk's murderer) and since this is not a historical novel, it occurred to me while he killed (literally) to one of the victims people are quite wrong about the publication of novels.
There are two main topics on the head of anyone unknown to you have and you say you're a writer.
The first is that, as you say you've posted a couple of novels let you go around:
- 'You'll be covered right? "
No, the truth is no. I not only covered with two novels but collecting benefits I have not even both for a year's salary as a computer (and is not to win a bundle as a consultant)
Many people think that publishing is a kind of door to the cave of Ali Baba, and take a book to market is synonymous with rain of millions. For one example: with 10% profit on book prices without VAT (about 2 euros per copy sold) the sale of 5000 copies (1 full edition) is the author of the astronomical figure of 10,000 euros. As you can see, does not even provide for mileurista. Not to mention that it takes 2 or 3 years to write a historical novel, so those 10k are to be distributed among those years.
As you can see, is not for lined.
The second topic with which you are is to:
- Have you published? For your next novel publishers the raffle right?
It is going to be no, which is not the case.
And this point is even more frustrating than the last. After posting results still do not have anything secured, and when I say nothing is nothing. The only thing is that you guarantee your manuscript if they're going to read your editorial, instead of going to the heap. This, though not small feat, nor is it to shoot rockets, does not mean you are going to publish. If you do not like the idea, theme, plot or tell you approach kindly have reaped the green and that is not what they want, if you can write instead of Forlayos Filostros. Not that it's something personal, no. It's about business, the editorial is to make money, and even if your novel you got the prez of the literary world, if not commercial, which will publish tell Rita (the singer)
And if you happen to write something which is not in the line that you know the editorial (as happens to a server that is out of the historical novel) it's likely that your novel, written with all the enthusiasm in the world, is in a begin drawer awaiting the famous cycle to try to publish, but this time from scratch. In other publishers and agents are not impressed by the publication of a couple of novelillas, and your manuscript goes directly to the pile.
And that's the main question that sometimes drives me round the mind, now I'm writing a novel for which I have no insurance, and for which, with absolute probability, I have to start a round of submissions to publishers for if you decide to publish it.
This is not an issue that concerned hearsay. My novel 'Republic', which I consider the best of the three I've written, still in the trunk of lost causes, along with a negative cue from publishers and agents, which does not provide much encouragement for further testing out of the historical novel, but hey, you're stubborn and still unavailable to discouragement.
Anyway, I will continue with the clerk crazy to finish the novel, and then God will tell ... Greetings
