Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums - View Single Post - A question for those who are self-published

We all have dreams of being published, by a mainstream publisher, and yes, some of us here have seen that dream come true. I'm putting the finishing touches on Draft Zero (that's what Garth Nix calls the first draft) of my YA fantasy novel. In a few months, I will send some queries and hopefully get some good responses.

If not, I will keep trying the mainstream route. But if it gets to the point where I keep trying and no one bites, I might do the Lulu thing, just to see my book in print and to give to family and friends.

But I have no doubt I will be published in the traditional manner. Hubris? Me? Yeah.
