I bookmarked this #Publishing article that basically asks, what are we paying trad pub for? While I do have an agent, an amazing one, actually! I'll be with this agent until he retires, no author should ever, ever, ever! Make a mood board of your submission! Your agent is your mood board! This would be a fantastic time for a non-discriminatory publishing cooperative to form right now. I know about Book view Cafe but they don't want blind writers like me or other blind writers. I hate self publishing. Seriously, I can't express how much I detest the self publishing process. Just because I have an agent, though, publishing is rough right now! This would be an excellent time for an indie publisher to rise up and not end up on Writer Beware. https://www.lilithsaintcrow.com/2024/04/we-gotta-talk-about-publishing/#SelfPublishing#Cooperative
