When I checked with friends on what they were using for ereaders there was just way too many to deal with and at least with smashwords it covers all of them.... <br /><br />I've sent out queries and got similar responses. They ask for the manuscript and then a few months later, the thanks but no thanks response. I'm still going to try since it would be great to have a traditional publisher but this will do for now. I just enjoy and love writing. I actually have two romance books under a pen name on Barnes and Nobles but I'm keeping that writing separate from any of the YA fiction :-)Karolyn Seegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090264496908112054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394172238905899343.post-50118698733006797462011-05-30T21:36:07.077-04:002011-05-30T21:36:07.077-04:00It will be interesting to see how you go with thes...It will be interesting to see how you go with these books, Karolyn. I published to kindle just a few days ago and I'm waiting for the book to 'go live'. I do have a book with a traditional publisher too and it was a long process finding that publisher - I did a blog post about the whole saga over at http://www.codyyoungblog.blogspot.com/<br />Good luck with 'Live'. Is it YA fiction?Cody Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699668105878409930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394172238905899343.post-32805781213429983862011-05-30T15:12:58.550-04:002011-05-30T15:12:58.550-04:00Thanks Rae... definitely a lot of luck needed... o...Thanks Rae... definitely a lot of luck needed... one day at a time though, at least it has helped me keep my sanity while job hunting and chasing after kids :-)Karolyn Seegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090264496908112054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394172238905899343.post-84165270873364212442011-05-30T15:04:44.526-04:002011-05-30T15:04:44.526-04:00Good luck to you Karolyn!
