I think perseverance is an essential quality in any writer and I'm afraid to say it's something you need to maintain even after you've been published (which brings with it a different set of travails).<br /><br />With the final two I think it was a question of timing... it had been more than six months since the book was first sent out and perhaps the market was more favourable. <br /><br />As for advice, the two best things I can say are keep at it (see perseverance comment above) and make sure you know how your book can be marketed. The commercial side of publishing is so important these days that a good book is not enough - you need to now how to sell it. Good luck with you own work!Guy Savillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783684707279806529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865964480875330371.post-43213042919156410182013-08-27T16:22:18.924+01:002013-08-27T16:22:18.924+01:00Louise - glad you like the K.

After the book came out in the US I started getting loads of spam comments, at their worst 9-10 per day! In the end I got fed up so introduced the 'prove you're not a robot' password device. It got rid of the spam... but I've also noticed the drop in comments too. I might turn it off again in the future.<br /><br />V = correct, Vendetta = not.
