Email

No need to ask permission to send me an email. If you’re dying to hear back from me, you can increase the likelihood I’ll write back if you do. I don’t know if I’ll be interested in your message until I see it. I love getting emails, but please note I’m not a book reviewer or creative writing professor. I only read and share things that genuinely interest me.

​

The email address link below is always up-to-date. There is no top-secret special email address that I will not divulge if you want to email me. I check my emails every week. Due to the number of emails I receive, (mostly work-related) I can barely even read them all, let alone get back to everybody. Forgive me in advance:

Frequently Asked Questions
 

What about the editing? You'll need one. Find a professional freelancer, a friend or sometimes the publisher or agent  will offer that service. 
 

What about a literary agent? I suggest an agent. But if you can't find representation, you can always query a publisher directly. Don't get discouraged. 
 

How did you finish your story? I finished it when I began it., I write out the ending and stick to that ending. Lots of things can change in the middle but don't go swimming out to sea in deep waters. I would suggest a light outline. 
 

I have an idea for a book, do you think it would be worth writing? yes of course! I encourage everyone to try thier hand at a book or two. 

​

How long did it take you to finish a book? 
I average about two years per book. I also work full time - so that might have something to do with it. Everyone works at their own pace, and some people write out novels a lot longer than mine.  

How did you come up with the idea? 
I have a lot of ideas. If I wrote out everyone idea I had, I'd be really happy about that. But ideas to me are a natural part of thinking. I also like the brainstorm with my sister, and brother. And my mother — she also helped me edit each book I wrote. 

Were you afraid of rejection?
Actually I was more afraid of not having anything to reject. Stories can always be improved for acceptance. It's never easy to be rejected. My advice is to place any rejection letters (if you get one) in a file. Then send another query the next publisher.  Try again. 

What about copy infringement? 
It's highly unlikely even though thats many author's initial fear. Once you write your book, it's yours. If you're really worried about it, send a copy to yourself and don't open it. Or submit it to the Library of Congress for a small fee.
