I've done things backwards. :) <br /><br />But you're right, the road to publication is different for everyone. I guess it doesn't matter what vehicle you use to get there...as long as it runs properly.Amy Holderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883850323559851866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3909131936902650491.post-16160998488117105752010-03-02T21:44:02.160-05:002010-03-02T21:44:02.160-05:00ha!

I languished in slush piles for years before even knowing what a literary agent was. Once I went that route it was 4 months. wow, what a difference.<br /><br />still, I agree that each path is individual and there are no fast and hard rules in this game.Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014195715998913268noreply@blogger.com
