Hello AW,
I'm Brandon Orner. I've been on AW for a short time now, and am currently working on my first book, which is a large, fantasy novel.
I've made some threads on the Water Cooler, but by some of the replies, I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I am halfway finished with my manuscript and queried some agents from Writer's Digest. Some of them are interested in my WIP and do know that it is not yet completed, but they are looking forward to its completion. I also have an editor and cover artist, as well as a website and Facebook page. (They don't have much on them yet.)
In high school, I was always the top of my class in English and wrote essays and speeches with ease. My teachers always encouraged my dream of becoming a famous author and I am willing to do whatever it takes to get there. I am starting college this fall, and my major will be in either English or Journalism.
From all of you who have been writing for quite some time, and who have already released a book or more, who already have agents and publishers, do you have any advice for new authors like myself?
P.S. I'm not sure if this is in the right thread, but I'm guessing it would go here.
