The EWN has been, hopefully, an ever evolving entity. Starting off in 2000 as an email list to send book reviews to, interviews were added to that sometime early in 2002, and so on up to this point. I recently let the www.emergingwriters.net website go. The reviews and interviews and e-panels done prior to my starting up this blog (at which point triple posting began - reviews were still emailed, as well as posted at that original EWN site, plus here at the blog) have been saved and will at some point be put back online, probably here. This also means that the Join the Network button no longer works.
To join the EWN, one simply needs to email me at wickettd@yahoo.com. Give me your name, email address and if you wish, some information about you as a writer/reader. I'll add you to the email list at that time (or, more likely, sometime in the next four months).
hello, please put me on your list of info/events. thanks.

I have just written a new 184-page book called "Basics of the Biz: A Holistic Approach to Becoming an Actor," available on Amazon.com. It covers my experiences in LA as an actor, as well as basic info. on how to get an agent, how to market yourself, what type of class to take, how to network, etc.

What in God's name does a writer have to do to get discovered?
Oh, I've made mistakes. The worst of them was letting my first novel slip into the clutches of a POD publisher. It doesn't matter that the work has runaway best seller potential, or that it's compared to the best of Stephen King. The only thing that appears to matters is the indelible stain of POD. Now my second novel is almost complete, I refuse to let Publish America publish it and I believe the "agent" I have couldn't sell solar powered ice machines in Brazil.
I guess all that brings me back to my original question.

C. Robert. I suppose if I were a writer I'd start by sending inquiries to agents that handle writers like Stephen King (if that's what the new novel might be compared to as well). I'd send inquiries to publishers that handle books by Stephen King or writers like him.
I probably wouldn't mention that the first book was a PA (or similar POD publisher) book. I'd probably just not mention it. But that's me. I truly have no idea how any publishers might read that in a cover letter. You'd like to think that they'd still be looking at the actual inquiry and not just the cover letter information.
