Hello, everybody! This is in response to Susan's comments on the blog. I think all of us would be able to empathize with her struggle, frustration at not being accepted by mainstream publishers, and joy at discovering 'abook2read.' Yes, it's a long and hard road. I also struggled for years. It's even harder in India, where there are so few quality writers writing in English. Unfortunately the publishing community here is celebrity struck. The writers that are published are usually celebrities, models, journalists or related to some powerful people! Also, the sales are not great and royalty is even worse. But with Torquil and abook2read, I think we can be hopeful of being part of a kind of revolution in the publishing field. The thing about ebooks is that once it takes off, it'll be awesome. Just think anybody, I mean ANYBODY, with a credit card and access to the internet can order a book from any part of the world. I've got great feedback for my novel on the site: 'Toofani Days, Valentine Nights'. I'm working on a new book and abook2read will certainly be my first choice for a publisher! All the best to my fellow 'revolutionary' writers!.
