    WWJD?  I've been wrestling with this one.  My WIP is not Christian fiction.  There is no story line about how the protagonist got saved and it turned her world around.  As a matter of fact, it doesn't even mention God, church, Jes...

Hi Lilly Robinson,

You don't know me but I stumbled across your website. I want to tell you that I know exactly what you're feeling in terms of aspiring to get your work published. I was there and my dream came true. After five years of rewriting my manuscript (I wrote it when I was 18); self publishing to local success (I live in Australia); obtaining a literary agent in New York, being knocked back 22 times (over 2 years later) I was placed under contract last November and my book "Purged by Darkness" was released two weeks ago in America. The moral to this story is don't ever give up because when you do that's when your big break will come!

Stay focused and just keep persevering! :o)

Sincerely
Michael Estepa, Published Author
