Self-Published Novel Picked up by Traditional Publisher - video
Self-publishing helped author P.J. Hoover sell both her book "Solstice" and "The Middle Grade Story" to a traditional publisher. She credits the publicity she initiated and the way she outlined these efforts for the publisher for facilitating the book deal.

Always interesting to hear another authors story. I am in the process of completing my first book. Looking forward to seeing it published soon! Anxious to here reviews on it. Hope to move on to a second book and hopefully at some point conventional publishing!

I have now self published two books, and would love to see them go traditional. I have tried to figure out how to present my book to the traditional publisher, but just can't find out how. If anyone knows the way, please share it with me. Everyone who has read my first book thought it was great. I have not had one bad comment on it. My brother actually said to me, that he didn't know I could write like that. Made me feel good. Now if I can get it traditionally published, I would be ecstatic!!!!

All this information is great to know. Iv'e only just published my first children's book "Why Can't I Be Like Her?" with Xlibris and this whole process is all so new to me. Everyone's different experiences with Self Publishing and Traditional Publishing is quite insightful.

Randy, I would suggest to hire a writing coach first. I am published since I have my private coach. He will work for you. He will help you make your manuscrit ready for professional editing. Then, you send it to an agent. If you are lucky, your writing coach may recommend you to an agent. Regarding cost, a private coach is more expensive than writing workshop. Prices are per hour or per workshop. Agents receive % of the income they negotiate for you. Does it help you? Nicole Audet www.nicoleaudet.com
