#writerscoffeeclub 6. Have you queried agents for traditional publishing? How did it go?
No. I don't do "traditional" well, in any respect.
Why query agents? To be published, to make money, to reach the widest possible audience.
The first I can do myself. The second is, as we speak, becoming an urban legend: the writer who makes a good income from writing. As for the last, I can't reach everyone. I can reach some. 5 readers are as important and impressive as a million.
