Writing for Pleasure
For some, the very act of writing is satisfying and therapeutic, for example, poets who write purely for the joy of it and writers who journal their most intimate thoughts, often for no one's eyes but their own.
“I'm from a family of writers, so it's in my genes. I was so young when I began writing that I can't remember when I first started.
Several years ago, when I wrote my novel, Waiting for the World to End—a story about right and wrong and faith in Middle America—I sent query letters to five agents and promptly received five rejections. That was depressing.
Then I read an article about iUniverse in the local newspaper. It was about the former head of a college English department and a previously published author who had self-published with iUniverse.
So I thought, If iUniverse is good enough for a writer of his caliber, it's certainly good enough for me.
My experience with iUniverse has been 100 percent wonderful. Their staff answered all my questions in a sensitive and informative manner as I went through the steps to self-publish my book.
The iUniverse Editorial Evaluation really impressed me. The evaluation was well done; I could tell so much time and effort had been put into it. The editor raised two key points that really helped me strengthen the manuscript.
Waiting for the World to End went on to win two prestigious writing awards, and, because of the book's success, I now have one of New York's top literary agents representing me. When you think about it, iUniverse opened up more than a whole new world for me—it opened up a whole new universe of possibilities!”
