What little kid doesn't dream of being a published author some day? At least for a moment in time. There's probably some out there, but most of us have had a story in us at some point or another that we wanted to share with the world. The hard part is sitting down, putting one word after another, and bringing the story from theory to actuality.
Well, I did that.
... Now what?
Oh, yeah. Get published.
Yikes!
The story that finally came out of me is not profound. It's not life changing. It may never be a best seller or turned into a movie. But I love it. I love my characters. I love the struggles they experience and how they overcome them. And, possibly most important of all, I loved writing them into existence. I loved spending hours upon hours staring at blank notebook pages and willing my characters to tell me what happens next. It really is their story, I'm just the one lucky enough to get to put it on paper.
But now I have the daunting task of trying to get published. Terrifying, I know. Anyone know a good literary agent that works with YA novels of the LGBTQIA+ variety? No? Didn't think so. Ah, well. I'll keep looking. Wish me luck!
