Frequently Asked Questions -
My newest book needs big publishers, do I need a literary agent? – Certainly not! You did your work in writing the book, so why should you pay leech fees to an agent?
My book requires a publisher that will pay me royalties, will you give me an author advance? Absolutely! Any publisher that takes your literary work on should demonstrate their good faith by paying something up front. An advance on the expected royalty proves the book publisher will actually produce and market the literary work.
Does this big publishing house accept fiction, genre, poetry, non-fiction or romance novels? Yes.
My book requires a publisher but it also needs editing, cover art, printing and promotional material, does this publishing company provide these – at no charge? Of course! An author writes and a publisher provides the full support it’s just as simple as that.
My book needs a publisher and I’ve found a publisher for my book that meets my requirements! I love a happy ending!
Do YOU have Latent Psychic Powers?
Unfortunately, this post is fiction. In a perfect world – no, make that in a half-decent world, book publishing would work the way this post describes. But corrupt book publishers won’t even look at a book that a literary agent leech hasn’t got his/her money-suckers into. And corrupt book selling stores put crap on co-opted rack space (equals the prime sales areas paid for by corrupt publishing houses).
My book requires a publisher. Good luck with that. Readers need big publishers to provide good books too but that doesn’t happen either.

A good author pours his/her creativity and energy into writing a book. A ‘successful’ author squanders his/her energies in successfully jumping the many agent and publishing hoops. ‘Successful’ authors have cheated readers of his/her best work. And I personally don’t consider that a success.
