The problem as I see it is, many publishers guidelines want books of a certain length, and they won't look at ones that are less.BookChookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230711251425187241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38727967.post-66445455097147911042009-02-05T22:17:00.000-06:002009-02-05T22:17:00.000-06:00Thanks for the article.

I think that publishing companies are doing a great job publishing books that are geared towards guys.

Much easier said than done I guess.The Writer's Hookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05566493791740338116noreply@blogger.com
