Below are four links. Three of these will give you an idea of what my new science fiction novel, Rooms, is about. You can use the fourth link to email me if you would like to talk to me directly, or, of course, you can also just make a comment at the end of this post.

The next part of my work with my novel will be to begin working on ways to publish it. I've started looking for names of publishing companies by looking at books that I've enjoyed reading. I've compiled a long list of large companies, but as I researched further, I quickly discovered that most of these will not accept unsolicited works. In most of these, you need to have an editor/agent that will go through your book and then present it to the company. I might go that route, but for now, I'm working on some other angles.
There are publishing companies that will accept manuscripts from unknown authors, and there are writing contests that I could enter. I'm looking for information in both of those areas.
I've decided to edit my work myself one more time and take it to a higher level on my own. I've started that process and should finish another major re-write sometime next week.
In this session of editing, I've found fewer and fewer small errors, but I've also done some heavy work on chapter's 1 and 15. I wanted to increase the readability and interest in chapter 1, and for chapter 15, I divided it into 2 chapters, changed the titles of the chapters, cleaned them up and focused the content for greater fluency and interest. I feel very good now about both of those edits.
