Jen asked Lurlene McDaniel:

I just want to say that I love your books. I have read many of them and think they are all fantastic! I was just wondering if you have any advice for people trying to get their novel published?

Lurlene McDaniel Often this depends on the quality of your work. Today there are more choices for writers than ever. NY publishers are still buying but an agent is your best bet to get into one of these big houses. Amazon also publishes books, so I suggest you go to their site and read their requirements. Some writers blog and post parts of their work and hope to lure in readers/a fan base. And there are vanity publishers that a writer pays to publish their work. Big bookstores also offer Print on Demand services, so check with them to see how they work. Only you can decide which route to take.
