  • This is quite encouraging. My first book did not do as well as i had anticipated in the market, and I was a bit discouraged about publishing the second one when it was ready. Now that I know the challenge is not peculiar to me, I feel strenghtened to move on. Thanks for sharing. I am Idaresit E. Ekwere. I just published my second book OUR BLESSED HOPE OF VICTORY OVER DEATH.
  • Good advice thank you I am just about to have my first book published Deborah Langley
  • You make a very good point. Keep moving, don't look back... Thanks
  • When I watched this video I thought Oh boy there are no guarantees. I felt sorry for myself. It was like I knew I was going to be rejected. I have just sent the last two sections of my book to my editor. I have put my all into it. I want this work published yet, I felt like there was much I did not know. Be that the only reason for my moaning, I know it will get better. Thank you Robert for your insight into launching my writing career.
  • Thanks Robert. I will plod on as long as there is a story in me to tell
