Your dream is to write a book, get it published, and then have people read what you have written. It may be a novel or a non-fiction work. But you don’t know where to start. Or doors are slammed in your face every way you turn. Publishing houses ignore you. Agents reject you without comment. You are on the verge of giving up your dream of becoming a published author.Stop! You can have that dream. If you have the ability to write, and if you have stories and characters or a non-fiction topic of interest to people, then you can find a publisher and a readership.
