M.K. Gibson
Be ready for rejection. A lot of it. I have a wall of framed rejection letters from agents and publishing houses.
Don't be afraid to talk to small presses.
Make friends: that is how it gets done, not by your work. Sounds horrible, I know, but meeting people, online or in person, and getting to know them and their contacts helps more than you know.
Be prepared to write and rewrite everything over.
Get to know query letters and how to format them.
Don't give up!
