Absolutely fascinating breakdown, Karin - thank you for pulling back the curtain. I’ve been dancing between memoir and travel, with a heavy dose of chaos, bureaucracy, and duck-related detours. Not quite sure what genre that lands me in - “expat misadventure with snacks”? Following now and excited to learn more as I waddle my way through this process!
It’s nice to see another reality check on the querying process. I write military political Technothrillers and plan on publishing later this year with a tiny hybrid press. I’m retired so have no delusions or need to make money. I want to get my book out into the world and connect with readers who enjoy these types of stories. I’ll leave fame and fortune to a few other lucky writers.
