Who out there is writing a book?

How fairs the writing so far sounds like you overdosed on college Shakespearean courses. Couple of nibbles on NYC literary agents, both wanted first chapter plus one wanted synopsis. My personal belief is LA are better than small publishers because LA is the only route into the big publishing houses. With big houses one gets top notch marketing pros, top flight editors, and name recognition in the literary world. It's a tough nut to crack, however, it takes an insane amount of determination to land the right agent. Bottom line is fiction is a lot tougher to get published than non fiction. Unless you have racked up an impressive resume of having short stories published in university run lit mags the odds are way against you. Non fiction is easier to get published, still tough however, but big time publishers are looking for creative non fiction with a strong narrative. I've been published in big time periodicals but never published a book. Without sounding vain, I'm still hoping.
