THIS SO HARD!!


Would I take a huge advance? Hell, yes. And I'd be the first to admit I'm a hypocrite. Still, I think there should be an even playing field and there just isn't. I can say this with all honesty: if my book got published with a tiny advance, and became a sensation, that would make me feel the BEST. Why? Because it succeeded based on its own merits, not media hype telling people it was a great book, so buy, buy, buy.

This this this!!


I know we all want to be published, but I think we tend to forget about the writing itself...the love of writing. This is the part of the process that is supposed to be all ours, the publishing side be damned. If an editor later on says, "If you change the MC's race we'll publish," decide then. For now, write what you love.
And This. Cricket you're on a roll!

We (agent and I) did everything we could to make her the most relatable, likable person and still.
Agreed Inky. Every single one of the agents who said they repped my genre and were looking for mc's that were POC's rejected my work. That could be just 'cause it wasn't their cuppa, I'll never know. What I found interesting is back in my very naive days, if I saw an agent say - 'I want to see more POC's,' I'd make sure to modify my query to include that point 'I see you're looking for x, well my mc is...'. Every singly query that began like that was R'd. If I didn't include that fact (keep in mind it was the exact same query, just with that fact taken out), then my odds of getting asked for material dramatically increased.

I believe some agents would genuinely love to see more mc's of colour etc. but they can't sell them (and this is a job for them so it all comes down to needing to eat and pay the bills.) I also believe some agents only 'say' they want to see this because it makes them sound open minded.

Of course, they'd never admit this a la 'I'm not racist!' syndrome <- when someone says or does something racist/stereotypical and when they are called on it they get all defensive and flail about saying there's nothing wrong with what they just said or did but YOU are too sensitive and THAT is what's wrong.

In the end I think the only thing that really could change publishing dramatically is if there was a sleeper hit that had a disabled/gay/POC etc etc mc. Then there'd prob. be a dramatic increase in editors wanting to acquire a book with a character just like the one in the cash-cow novel.

/2 cents.

I have a friend who went crazy over G!rl W1th Th3 Dr@gon T@ttoo. I mean, he thought the book was the best thing EVAR and gave it to me as a gift.

I put it down multiple times and at the end, threw it across the room. Not my cuppa. To each his/her own. <- When I finished the book, I didn't understand the hype about it either, and I have no desire to read the sequels. For a person with Obsessive Sequel Syndrome aka OSS that's huge.

Morning Pitizens! I get to meet our Overlord today, and Blondchen from up in purgatory.

Snapps and Overlord, enjoy your furlough from the Pit! Make a break for it if you can. A life on the run from bounty hellhounds is better than life in the Pit.

Agreed with everything.

And thanks everyone for all your support and stories...I had a talk with some of my upper PhD friends. People understand things in different ways and are interested in different things. I don't have to measure myself up against 'intellectuals' who fauxlosophize about Derrida and act like it's the be all and end all, or who throw out big words that they don't even quite understand. On top of that, I don't need to let myself feel like I'm on the outside...yeah there are ppl too snobby to even talk to me but the real question is if I even NEED their friendship? I'd say no. Instead of feeling like I'm on the outside, I just have to find where I do fit. And I do have people irl I can talk to and call my friends so...screw them. I've never been one to beg the popular kids anyway (it's just that who's popular and who isn't changes depending on your social setting I guess).

Soul, I wonder if such a sleeper hit can be made through the publishing system? I almost think that the industry has degraded so much that there's no possible way there can be a 'sleeper hit' that's THAT different than what's already out there. I know that history tells us we should be having another Next Big Thing any day now...something that does shock everyone. But I don't know if, in this climate where everything feel/is manufactured, TNBT will be something really capable of surprising/moving people, or will it be something chosen, edited and/or put together by the number
crunchers of the big six. Idk if that made sense.

ETA: OVERLORDDD!!!!

Also, my inbox is super quiet. It is November though...don't editors also write themselves? I wonder how many of them are doing Nano instead of reading our manuscripts? lol jk

THIS! Roly, that's the most important part. If these people are already problematic, then who wants them as friends?

fauxlosophize™ <- that awesome word deserved to be trade marked

Agreed on the above, Roly. Perhaps something that 'different' would need to get out there through self publishing or some other non-traditional means. Eds/agents are less and less likely to take 'chances' now a days...and the fall out from that unfortunately is since 'different' mc's are seen as taking a chance, the chances of such ms seeing the light of day dramatically decrease

I completely agree with Cricket too, I can think of loads of books *cough* L@byr!nth *cough* that were terrible but got hyped up because of the author or just hypey hype.

But then, like HP, if a book is really amazing won't word of mouth get it out there anyway? It would be interesting to see releases in another universes where they got no hype and see which got to bestsellers.

My inbox is super quiet too. The spiders that live there are getting lonely.

Roly if people are being that snobby then you can definitely do better. In fact, your own company would probably be an upgrade from trying to be someone you're not

Have you considered developing a chatty alternate personality...?

That's dedication.
