"I couldn’t get a New York publisher to look at my manuscript because I couldn’t find an agent. After being rejected by 60 agents, I almost gave up, when I discovered the Internet. A couple of weeks and my book was accepted by a reputable, royalty paying publisher." Linda Melin writing as Linda Suzane is a Contributing Editor at www.suite101.com. She has articles and stories published on Themestream and WrittenByMe. She is a participant in an online critique group and belongs to numerous online writing communities.
