Literary success

Machine translation.

Hello,

I am a writer looking for a publisher. I regularly submit my work to literary contests and send it to publishing houses, but so far without any results. My question is obvious: will I eventually break through? I should point out that I am not seeking fame, but simply to be published and read, and to be able to make a living from my writing. Thank you in advance.

Hello Alhambra - Michèle,

For your question about your search for a publisher, you must choose 3 numbers between 1 and 22!

See you soon

Hello Lemagicien,

I choose 6, 19, and 21.

Thank you, and see you soon

Hello Alhambra - Michèle,

Go ahead and make yourself known, share your writing through forums or social networks, literary contests, etc. Then word of mouth will do the rest.
It’s also important to know that, as a rule, a publishing house will only take an interest in your writing if they’ve already heard of you as an innovator in a particular literary theme. In that regard, you would need to have somewhere a photo book or profile that can showcase the awards or critical reviews you’ve received from a certain literary press.
To answer your question and according to the reading performed, I can tell you that you will break through, perhaps already by the summer 2015 period!

See you soon and have a good day
The magician.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. I will try to follow your advice and continue working to get my writing out there. I will keep you posted.

Once again, a thousand times thank you,

Sincerely,

Michèle
