I will attempt to hook an agent and publish traditionally.

Hi Adrian,
Just wondered if you are one of the Writer's & Artists website publicists? You've put up lots and lots of Q&A's all of which appear to be open questions and none are really questions you are asking for your own personal benefit?
If so, I was wondering if I could have a go?
Here's some questions I've prepared...
"Why is the verb more powerful than the adjective?"
"What advice did you take and how did it pay off?"
"Why is it important to seek professional help with your manuscript?"
I could even prepare some more targeted questions around whatever the website is promoting i.e. Editorial Services, Events or Shop.
I have just self published for my son if you do go down this route look into everything first and do a lot of research. I am using a company called xlibris and in the early stages they were great but now I am at the post production stage I am having trouble. Just be careful and go through everything with a fine tooth comb just to be sure what your getting. Also request everything in emails so you have a back up of what's been promised as now they won't honour what has been said on the telephone because it is not up to the sales team to decide what is in the package, and just be aware these companies are out to make money (a lot) and your their target.
I am currently in the process of attempting to 'hook an agent,' but the more I read about Self Publishing the more I am willing to give it a try. So I have given myself a deadline after which, if I haven't managed to get an agent, I will self publish.

Look forward to hearing from you.
