Over the past couple of months, I’ve been working with hisviks and MsBuffy on a piece for the Fangbangers Anonymous Directory. Today, part 1 went live. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to write original fiction and get it published, check out Part 1 here. There’s a contact form following the post where you can ask questions anonymously, which I’ll be happy to answer as soon as hisviks gets them to me. 🙂
Since this is my blog, I’m going to shamelessly plug my original fiction. I’ve written four books and one short story: the first two books have been published, I self-published my short story, I’m querying book three, and editing book four. I’m also outlining book five so I can write it this summer. Please visit my author blog, September Roberts, for more information.
The post on Fangbangers Anonymous isn’t meant as a way for me to toot my own horn, I simply wanted to share what I’ve learned and offer advice to anyone who is thinking about writing original fiction with the intention of it being published. 🙂

So freaking brave of her!!! I am starting out on my own journey, and while this may seem a lot, it is no different than someone needing to convince their boss of something.
Take a deep breath and then take the plunge….

snickers. I just wonder one thing, if you are doing a series, do you sent more than one book at a time?

Many publishers don’t like to take risks with new authors and series, so send them the first one, and hope they love it so they’ll offer you a contract for all. You have to get your foot in the door first! It helps if you have the whole series outlined so you can pitch it once you talk to an editor. 🙂 I hope that helps!

Yes. I do have the entire thing outlined, and oddly, I am working on three of the installments at one time to make sure they blend in to each other.
I know odd, but hey, it helps me keep it all straight.
Thanks for the advice!

That’s definitely the way to go! I think a series should always be written together, or at least in close succession so you can make edits in the previous book(s) to fit with the later story/plot. I think that makes all the difference! Good work. 🙂
