firstly, thank you for posting all that information on publishing earlier today. it was fantastic to read and learn about, and definitely helps to explain the process and the pros/cons/etc. my next question: there are some of us (note: ME FOR SURE) who definitely think you've got the talent (and all else required) to be trade published and have a successful career as an author. what can we do, if anything, to help? are there companies we can contact? places we can promote you? i'd love to know!
Okay well um first you're going to have to excuse me for a second while I draw HEARTS AROUND YOUR NAME OH MY GOD.
This is so, so sweet and I just. I'm a little emotional. REALITY HOUR: I've been really struggling with my writing for the last year or so for reasons I can't get into, but discovering this fandom and doodling around in it and getting the reaction I did... it lit a fire back in me. It made me LOOK FORWARD TO WRITING AGAIN, which is something I haven't felt in a while. Trade publishing is both exhilarating and fucking brutal, so believe me when I say that every comment like this? Jesus Christ, it gets me right in the heart.
As for whether there's anything you can do, unfortunately there's not at this point, though I am just so flattered and awed that you'd offer. Until I have a book deal under my belt, there's not much that can be done in the way of appeals or promotion. But believe me, if that happens, I'm sure I will SCREAM ABOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS :D
