But wow, since the internet, and since SleuthSayers, like Susan, I've found publishers, co-writers, colleagues, and editors galore.

I've found publishers, editors, co-writers, and colleagues (most of all colleagues) by going to conferences, workshops, joining committees, and setting up readings. The mystery community is the best.

It makes me feel like Santa, dropping out of the sky to tell an author that I liked his/her story enough that I want to share it with the world and pay them for it. It's fun! It's even better when it's someone I know, like you, R.T. It was a pleasure to reprint your funny story.Barb Goffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16013123434790272424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-81957340795320160482021-12-26T10:06:25.114-05:002021-12-26T10:06:25.114-05:00Short and sweet, but great advice, R.T.

My first few sales all came about because someone who knew somebody else mentioned me...or mentioned them to me. And those early connections led to my being invited to this blog, and that led to...well, you get it.<br />Merry post-Christmas, everyone.Steve Liskowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107703903536520140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-77385354465212360702021-12-26T06:50:51.188-05:002021-12-26T06:50:51.188-05:00Your blog is spot on.
