It's What I Want - Call Me Crazy!
As most of you have probably noticed, lately I've been doing a lot of posts about someone named Mark Malatesta and have been directing you to his site in regards to finding an agent. I don't know if you've gone, or if you haven't. I'm sure some of you think I'm crazy or annoying for pushing this issue. Maybe I am, and maybe I'm not.
I want to be successful. I've already achieved a mild level of success on my own, and yes, I'm happy with that. But, I want to see if I can do more and that's why I'm trying to get an agent. Yes, I could self-publish (and I have been experimenting with that lately), but I can try for mass market too. What harm is there in trying? I could score an agent and they could get me a contract with a large publisher. That would be awesome! And, if that doesn't work out, guess what? I still have the option of self-publishing or going with smaller presses. So, I have to ask, what do I have to lose? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING !
I've known about Mark's site for a long time, but wasn't really paying attention because I wasn't ready to start agent shopping. Now I'm ready, so I've spent some time there and got to know Mark - he's a good guy. I'm not pushing this or him just to get him business. I'm trying to share information that I've found useful with you, my fellow writers. I want all your writing dreams to come true. We all work too hard for that not to happen. I hope you don't feel like you aren't good enough for an agent, or feel intimidated by the prospect of mass market deals. You deserve the chance to reach more of the world with your writing. I have faith in you, and I have faith in myself.
So, call me crazy all you want, but I want a chance at more success than I've found so far. I also want that same chance for you. I hope you don't let fear or feeling like you aren't good enough scare you away from something wonderful that could change your life.
