And from that moment everything was really easier: I took part in five editorial selections for anthologies of bonsai stories and I won 4 of them, I took part in a literary competition with a discount voucher for books up for grabs and I won it 3 times I submitted my story based on new titles from a publishing house, winning that competition once and taking home 31 books. But above all I continued to send my stories to literary competitions, having them read and criticized and finally I started publishing my stories here , where anyone can read and criticize them.
Let's clarify one thing, before going any further: if you want to become writers, then you have to let yourself be read, otherwise it makes no sense. How to overcome fear? Simple: but who do you want to see you? You're online, dammit, behind a computer, safe in your room. Maybe, when you take the subway, someone's gaze lingers on you longer than usual. Don't Phone Number Data pay attention to it, it's just a coincidence. Understand and accept the mechanisms of publishing Now, if you want to become a writer, you must know that we are talking about publishing, both traditional - there is a publishing house that will follow you - and self-publishing - you have to do everything yourself.
And publishing, i.e. putting your book on sale, involves a series of aspects to take into consideration, but above all to accept. The reader as your customer : he is the one who decides the success of your work, the one who has the right to have his say on your novel. It's clear that we will find rude people who criticize a book using strong words or the envious person on duty who perhaps comments on it without having read it, but I think these are sporadic cases. The reader is still a customer and, even if he is not necessarily always right, a criticism must be accepted as a comparison. Editing to improve your writing : regardless of the type of publishing you choose.
