Getting Published Takes Time

Filed Under Books, Getting Published, Publishing

When I say getting published takes time I don’t mean the process of creating the books or even writing the book. I am talking about just getting someone to accept the novel. After you have spent months and even years writing a book you can spend even more time shopping it around to different publishers.

That in itself takes a lot of time because it can be sometimes over a year before you are accepted or rejected and then it’s on to the next one. You have to remember it’s not like a demo tape you listen to and toss in the trash. These are words that has to be read, a story that has to be finished for them to get the big picture.

If they get hundreds and thousands of these then it will take time, a lot of time beforeĀ  yours is even read.
