Seeking Success
Is there a novel inside of you, bursting to come out? Characters who won't let you rest? A story you just have to tell? People who have a passion for writing are willing to devote the time and energy it takes to complete a manuscript as a way of finding their voice and honing their craft.
"I've been writing for as long as I can remember, and I graduated with a degree in English from the University of Maryland.
In 1999, I got serious about getting published and completed my first book, Ghosts of Fire, a romantic suspense novel. A small press offered me a contract, but my agent advised against signing with them.
But, after a while, I grew tired of playing the waiting game with the larger publishers.
That's when I decided to self-publish with iUniverse. I really believed in my book, and I knew that iUniverse could help me find its audience.
The publishing process was extremely efficient, and the iUniverse staff took both my book and me seriously. The cover design was amazing—their designers incorporated my ideas and came back with a design that exceeded my expectations.
Then good things began to happen.
In its review of Ghosts of Fire, the Midwest Book Review called me 'a writer of considerable promise and ability.' Then I signed a two-book deal with BET books. And now I'm writing for Kensington and Harlequin.
None of this would have happened if I hadn't taken the plunge and self-published with iUniverse.
The iUniverse staff understood my needs as an author and gave me the confidence to publish my novel and enter the marketplace.
Publishing with iUniverse was an important first step toward my career as a writer."
