Late June 2011

At a talk last year, Stephen Booth shared with his audience – it took eighteen months to find a publisher with his first novel. He is now a successful author in the crime genre with over seven novels published. So, I was in it for the long haul.

My novel submissions took a couple of early passes from the independents. The normal standard replies: we are no longer accepting submissions; our lists are full; not right for us at the moment. Then within two weeks of my submission I got an early hit.

I did the normal things like trawl the Writers and Artists Yearbook, googled ‘Independent Publishing Houses’ in as many word variations as I could muster, subscribed to ‘writethismoment.com’, a site advertising calls for submissions. This gave me a handful.

I saw in the news that the London Book Fair hadRead More
