how i got published

I have just had my first novel published on the internet by a reputable publishing house. Their internet section is called reedmee.com. I have had 2 agents, numerous features, poems and short stories published, and every publisher in London liked my stuff; but because it was off the wall, thought I was too much of an unknown quantity to take on.
Check out my novel, Behind Blue Eyes, at reedmee.com; check out my short stories right here on abc; or look at my website for more about my stuff, including an article for The Guardian (U.K.) about my writing experiences.

It took me years to get to here, and I'm finally going to have a trilogy of novels published later this year. I guess my message to you all is keep trying!

Hi Mark Just wanted to say that it's really nice to hear about other writer's successes. Congrats! sarahjane P.S. i reckon that if it's taken you years to learn how to play a trumpet then you should bloomin' well blow it! :-)

Nice one mate.. respect. It is encouraging to hear other writers making it... Keep putting pen to paper and I will have a look at your writing and e-mail you when i've read some of it, and tell you what I think. Theos bless funky_seagull

ah but to sink is like fine wine in the rivers of terracota bathtubs in walled ceilings of pristine galleries smoldered together ny future generations of neon gangsters holding up their holy forks shouting, "more!.. We want more of your insane ecstatic chanting ice popes.."

I like the sound of trumpets but it has to be a good tune. Call me old fashioned............ No don't. But...............................I'm just not sure about internet 'publishing'. I won't call myself published until I have a small paper book in my hands, which I can sniff!..........short stories are different ...........I like sharing those ................although it would be good to see them on paper.............but the novels....no.

Hi, I read your profile, sounds interesting. What sort of style is your writing? I have just finished and had edited a novel called 'The Farmers boy' a dark possible horror novel. I would love to get it published. I am also in the middle of my second, a collection of short stories on urban culture (quite gritty) would be good to hear from you and read some of your work.
