I wouldn't rule out doing more non-fiction in the future though.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-78726945374502106682010-02-17T21:53:25.166+00:002010-02-17T21:53:25.166+00:00I was so excited when I read that you're in th...I was so excited when I read that you're in the March issue of Prima - I have Wise Words in there. So I dug out my copy and I've just read your piece. And it's so beautifully written and so very heartbreaking...<br /><br />You musn't just concentrate on non-fiction though.

The truth is that it's much easier to get non-fiction published than fiction because the market is bigger. I have the same dilemma sometimes, but I know I won't give up the fiction because I love it too much.HelenMWaltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182100572365505905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-3218036472058970982010-02-17T20:48:40.130+00:002010-02-17T20:48:40.130+00:00I was wondering the same myself as I find I can ge...I was wondering the same myself as I find I can get non-fiction published far easier than fictionPaula RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550276147711384895noreply@blogger.com
