opportunity

I want to know if people who are Hispanic ... I mean, we talk in Spanish, we have a chance on this page and we can get to get a book in English language? .... if we have equal opportunity to contact an agent speaking English to present our work.

Replies

but of course I feel good writing in my native language: in fact, already finished writing my manuscript in Spanish but if you can give the opportunity to do so in English ... why not? .... is a great platform to do so, for that reason I dare to swim in uncharted waters. Thanks for your support, advice and answers .... they are much appreciated.

Do you intend to write in English or in Spanish? If in Spanish your best option might be to look for a website similar to this one but where the posts and comments are in Spanish.

It's not a case of discrimination or rejecting someone who isn't British, but simply that most people do their best writing in their native language

Anyone can contact agents and publishers. You will be judged on the quality of your writing not on your ethnic group or nationality.

It's a tough world out there - many more people try to get published than succeed. So you will need to try, try and try again and ignore rejection letters. You will need persistance as well as talent. Good luck.
