Back on Track!

Happy New Year!
So over Christmas, things slowed down...a lot. But, I am getting back to what I need to be doing; getting my book published! How this is going to happen, is not so sure though. I have submitted to two more agents by post and although I have not had any response yet from any agents (good or bad), I am now increasingly considering taking the e-publishing route.
I hear you asking why??? A few reasons. Firstly, it will get my book out there much faster (what do I hear you say now, slow and steady wins the race!), no my friends, slow and steady means maybe never. Having done some research, the chances of getting published via the traditional route is slim, to non-existent. Not because I do not believe in my book, but for the pure fact that you have to get the right person to read your book at the right time (i.e what you have written is the type of stuff they are interested in/looking for currently) and that my friends is if they take the time to properly read the submission.
Another reason for self-publishing is that you get a heck of a lot more of the profit than through an agent/publisher type route; up to sixty percent or more. Now that is a massive difference. Plus if I make enough money from the first book I can hire an editor for the second book to ensure even greater success.
Saying all this, I must admit I was a bit unsure about all this at first. But, thanks to the wonderful support and help (hours of research and planning) from my husband, I now believe this may well be the best route for me.
Two-hundred-and-thirty-something pages left to edit and then I can add in the finishing touches before publishing on amazon!!
Say it with me now....whoopee!
