To publish, or Not to publish...that is the question

So, I sent my manuscript (book) to several publishers yesterday. This process is hard and frustrating and makes me feel like It’s just a huge waste of my time. Most of the time you never hear back, that’s it, you send them your hard work and they don’t have the decency to reply with a, “Thanks, but no thanks” or provide any constructive criticism. Then on top of the waiting and wondering and feeling like your pretty sure they think your book sucks…if they do take you on, they not only make more money than you do off of your creativity, you end up selling them your creative control!

I’m not sure which way I want to go, but I’d like to have the option to choose. Who knows, maybe I’ll stay self published. Maybe I’d go with a publisher if I think it’s a good deal for me, and would help me to grow as an author and to create a bigger audience.

So right now I’m getting ready to re-vamp my book. I’m going to have the cover re-done with a professional that I think will really make it standout, and I just revised the interior of it to look better as well. Wish me luck!
