Everyone — and I mean everyone — is working on a book. For some, it's
just a spark of an idea that
hasn't quite made it to paper; for others, it's thousands of words socked
away in a drawer or saved on an
old laptop. Either way, the same question is bound to come up eventually:
What does it take to get this
thing published?
There is no easy way to get published and become a successful author. I
can safely say this after years
of reading submissions for a literary agency and a Big Six publisher
(including everything from amazing
books that bombed to titles I hated but everyone else in the world loved).
Writing books is a weird, long
haul, but — thankfully! — there are a few things you can do to help you on
your journey. Here's the advice
that I give every aspiring author.
Read. A Lot.
More specifically, read in your genre. You need to know what good books
look like, so you can take note of
what makes them so successful and incorporate those things into your
writing.
