I’m thinking about writing a novel?


I’ve just recently come to this idea, so it’s in no way concrete. I want to focus most of my effort on this novel because I know it’s difficult to get published as a first time author, and if I do well, I might make it into a career. Are there any published authors out there that can give me some hints or tips to send me in the right direction? What are my chances of getting published with a well written book? Is there any chance of me making money off of it?

I am writing a novel. How do I find a good agent or publishing house?


I don’t know what it would be classified as. It is about relationships, but not a romance. Maybe a right of passage thing? Anyway, I only have about 17,000 words, so it’ll be a little while before I finish. But I would like to have an idea as to what to do and expect. I am an unpublished first time author, but have recieved good preliminary criticism from friends and from anonymous reads.
It’s not chick lit. It’s from a guy’s prospective. It’s like the answer to chick lit; why they drive us nuts, and why sometimes we do what we do. It’s a story told seriously but from a first person point of view. The person narrarating has a bit of a satirical eye .
