FAQ

As I receive questions, concerns, comments, etc., I'll answer them here! :-)

To begin, a common question I often hear is "Why don't you just self-publish?"

Awesome question! Self-publishing is now one of my options, through Francis-Malloy Press, Inc. I've avoided self-publishing for over a decade (ask my family and friends, lol) because the major publishing houses that I'd like to work with WILL NOT accept manuscripts from authors who've already published work. Yes, that includes self-published authors. I'll submit work to some publishers and literary agents during 2025, and start self-publishing if that doesn't pan out!

Oh--and I've had a few vanity publishers contact me. I'm not interested in paying for publishing unless it's through my own publishing company, lol Watch out for vanity publishers!
