So You Wanna' Write a Novel


It ain't gonna' be easy, says The Independent.

Excerpts from the story:

So will fiction ever make a writer rich?
No. No. A thousand times: no.

If it works, could you give up the day job?
Almost certainly not.

Tales of slush-pile to stardom do come to light, don't they?
Indeed so, but remarkably few.


What am I to do, then, with a couple of novels I've written (Cranston's Finest, The Soundtrack of Huey Sinclair)? Oh, I will not give up in getting them published. No, I will not.
