There are a heck of a lot of books out there--more than anyone, even the fastest reader, could ever possibly read. Think of how many books have ever been written. Why do some become "classics" while others which are just as good or maybe better never even heard of, or in some cases never even published? I have a sister-in-law who has written several children's books and has yet to get any published, and they're good. I've read some of them, and they're a lot better than a lot of the junk I've seen in libraries and bookstores. It makes no sense, really. How do such dumb books manage to get published and other really good ones don't? I know this is more in reference to novels, but what do you know about publishing children's books? I actually have 2 sisters-in-law trying to do that.<BR/>Thanks.<BR/>:-)<BR/>Tami GoochTamsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936856981969702002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-1036267523887675512008-01-15T16:04:00.000-07:002008-01-15T16:04:00.000-07:00Being a convert to the Church certain LDS-confine...Being a convert to the Church certain <BR/>LDS-confined realities take a while to sink in. We are a relatively small segmentof the US population, with a larger percentile of highly educated folks than the overall citizenry, highly sociable/articulate and, of course, with much to say. So, we tend to write way to much for our own good but there are not enough publishers or readers to buy the books we produce!! Brother, what a nightmare. No wonder in desperation folks just try and print a copy or two just to say: "look ma' my book!!"Malcolm Lealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673296079943604754noreply@blogger.com
