I'm so glad you've found this useful, Rena! 🤗 I got to the point where I just started ignoring all of the stats. I mean, SO many new books are published every single week, several of which are written by debut authors. I just started asking myself, "Why not me?" It really helped!
This is so, so helpful - the process is daunting enough as it is, and I feel a little isolated on it as I have no one I know who does anything even close to writing (though I’m sure a lot of people don’t either). All my info is from what I’ve gathered online, so having people like you who take the time and effort to impart that knowledge is incredibly meaningful and important. Thank you :)
I’m so glad you’ve found this post helpful, Grace! And I totally know what you mean; this process can feel incredibly lonely at times. I’m thankful for platforms like Substack that make me feel much more connected! Wishing you the best on your querying journey 😊
Courtney's book has been such an instrumental resource throughout my path to publication -- I'm sure you'll find it useful! She also has a fantastic Substack :)
This is SO helpful. And encouraging to see! Sometimes it feels like the odds are so impossible no one must make it!

I’m going to be diving into this process very soon so this is encouraging to read! Courtney’s book is already on my list.
