Don't waste your time; Go with a POD

by Bob Frey
(USA)

Genre: Fiction, Mystery

My advice is to go with a Print On Demand (POD) publisher.

After years and years of pounding my head against the wall trying to get a traditional publisher, after submitting several novels, after several agents, all I had to show for it was a shitload of rejection slips and hundreds, if not thousands of dollars down the toilet.

Check out a group called Murder Must Advertise on the web. Many of the mystery authors there have two, three, and more mystery books published by traditional publishers, top publishers at that, and they are still working at a day job.

According to these authors, even if published by a Random House or whatever, you are on your own to promote your book. So why knock your head against a wall trying to get a publisher or an agent, when you wind up promoting your book yourself.

Save yourself a lot of heartache and frustration, go with a POD and then promote your book. Just remember to get a good editor to review your book before you have a POD print it.
