Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How do I report my success story?
A. Your information will show up in this list automatically if you have marked a query or submission with a result of "Offered Representation".  If you would like to release your name or provide more information, please contact me.

Q. Why so few success stories?

A. Unfortunately, the publishing business is hard to break into. Certainly no less difficult than Hollywood or the music industry.  This page is included to show that it does happen, it just takes persistence, extreme skill, and yes, a little luck.
