Hello everyone,

I am an avid writer/artist/illustrator. I have published books about philosophy in the past, and more recently written poetry, a compelling memoir, and quirky, colourful stories for children.  But, despite sending my work to publishers and agents continuously for the past 2 years plus, I simply cannot find anyone who will take me and my incessant creativity. 

Any advice or contacts? 

All the very best,

Lorna

Hi,

My first book was published in 2018. However, the publishers (name withheld) have since disappeared. There website is gone, there have been no recent posts on the usual social media suspects, etc. My book is still being sold under their name on Amazon, however I would like to re-publish with someone else if possible. I've read my contract and as far as I can tell the term of the contract was for two years (renewable by mutual agreement). I was hoping for some advice as to where I stand with approaching agents, etc. Also, how do I get it removed from Amazon.

Hello all

I have written and illustrated a children's book, now it is being proof read so by the end of the week I should be in a position to move on. The book needs ISBN numbers of course, Whichever publisher I would choose, say IngramSparks, they charge $49 to upload the files. What happens then? I can't see anywhere!

Hello everybody,

I am a writer currently working on various projects and want to elevate my status to looking more professional for potential audiences/ literary agent. I am struggling to know whether a blog or portfolio via my own website is a more suitable option. I mainly want to provide references for the different publications I've had, plus perhaps showcasing snippets of my own work. Could anybody give me guidance on this? thanks.
