Just A Query

Even though I’ve been publishing my works for a little more than a year now, I haven’t actually been looking all that hard for a publisher or agent to have me on their books. I’ve looked half-heartedly a few times, and gotten close to drafting query letters a couple more times, but they always ended up unsent.
In one or two cases it was due to procrastination but, in the majority of cases, I didn’t like the blanket terms that were identified via website or email. I know that few are set up to handle someone who is already publishing their own work, but it seems like hardly anyone has moved to embrace authors who are approaching from that direction (at least not without some rather interesting terms).
There are also a couple of queries that I am saving up until I am writing works long enough to warrant publishing through those routes.
In the meantime, I stumbled across a publisher whose terms were actually quite attractive for the situation that I am in. That they are something of a major publishing house is another benefit as well. After some due diligence and some thinking about what to do next, off went the query.
So now, it’s a matter of waiting and seeing. I’ll continue to write and publish my works, but perhaps there might be some new opportunities opening up in the near future.
Only time will tell, but it will be a fun wait.
