My Publishing Journey
by Murees Dupé
Like most writers I started off pursuing traditional publishing. I reworked my novel many times, over and over. I crafted various query letters and received many rejection letters. Needless to say, I didn’t get a dream agent, nor did I acquire a big publishing deal, even though I devoted more than 4 years to that goal. Turns out, traditional publishing wasn’t right for me.
Instead, I opted for the self-publishing route. Even though I found the prospect daunting and even harder work than the above scenario, but it was a better fit. The most important part was that I was enjoying each phase of self-publishing. Yes, I was tired and at sometimes broke, but for me, it was all worth it. Every step I took brought me closer to a finished product that I loved.
Today I can honestly say that my dream has come true. I have published a book and I feel so blessed. Thanks to my family, fellow bloggers and an excellent editor and cover designer, I am enjoying my dream. I struggled in the beginning and my journey was definitely not easy. But I wouldn’t change it for anything. Those difficulties made me who I am today.
Blurb:
Claire is sassy, human, and an outcast of society―who only wants to know where she belongs.
Alex is arrogant, selfish, and an immortal warrior―who thinks he’s prepared for everything.
Claire knows the world of immortals is where she belongs. As her guide and guardian, Alex finds it hard to resist Claire’s subtle charm. Can the two overcome their differences and embrace their passion for each other, or will the possibility of true love be lost to both forever?
