How to Get Published

How to Get Published

I’m no expert. Let’s just get that out there. Somehow I have managed to get myself published in the real world of writing. I’ll be honest: I’m still in shock!

When the time came to churn out a seventy-five-word summary of what I had read, I always needed a few more words to meet the word count.
