Or just the writers and artists yearbook, it has like a whole catalogue of them and you can just work through it. If you're not in the uk though, still has lots of really good advice

>>9364309
Do what I do, tell yourself you're too good for them.

Or at least, that's what I would do if I even tried to submit to any publishers. I have no clue how to do that, or how to even think about the idea of approaching an agent. I only have two legit novels finished so far, I might be better off having the third finished before I try this kind of thing.

ok thanks bro

:( How do they expect me to get published when every place you can get published in requires you to be published?

What an evil trick

I think to get started you have to pay to have your book published

That's why I post on 4chan.
