This is what a rejection letter from a NY agent looks like

The following letter just arrived from a New York agent I met at the 2011 Pitch Slam:

      "Thank you for your sample chapters and allowing me to consider your work. I have come to the conclusion it is not something I wish to pursue despite it's great humor and heart.

It was wonderful meeting you at the Writers Digest Pitch Slam, and I wish you the best of luck in your literary endeavors."   

     I’v got two more rejection letters, neither one as sweet as the one above; five left to go. I must admit I’m very scarred. Confessions of an Internet Pornographer has been called eloquent, funny and full of heart. Isn’t that enough? 

     In the meantime I have returned to editing the nove for the 22^nd time. Believe it or not I still am changing things, luckily it’s just tweeking. The novel is really well edited. I've been thinking about adding another 10-15 pages. I never really describe the Web site enough, and I can write about the XXX films they made at the  Greenwich Connecticut studios. I think I can make the book even sexier.

     I am getting ready for the future by reading a book about book promotion. I need a marketing plan wether I get an agent or self-publish. I'll be writing more about the book later, and self publishing.

     Speaking of self publishing, if I need to go that route I’m definitely going e-book first, Amazon Kindle. I keep as much as 70% of my sales profit. With a trafitional publisher I’ll be lucky to get 12 to 14% I want the publicist and the access to the media that a publisher can give Confessions of an Internet Pornographer. But I’ll do it myself if I have to. 

Talk again soon,
