how i got published

I have just had my first novel published on the internet by a reputable publishing house. Their internet section is called reedmee.com. I have had 2 agents, numerous features, poems and short stories published, and every publisher in London liked my stuff; but because it was off the wall, thought I was too much of an unknown quantity to take on.
Check out my novel, Behind Blue Eyes, at reedmee.com; check out my short stories right here on abc; or look at my website for more about my stuff, including an article for The Guardian (U.K.) about my writing experiences.

It took me years to get to here, and I'm finally going to have a trilogy of novels published later this year. I guess my message to you all is keep trying!

The link to Reedmee seems to suggest it's gone belly up. I'm glad for you, Mark, I wish you all the best, but - did you get paid?

Whatever you think of Mr. Piggott you have to admire the way he believes in himself. If you want to get that link to work just post it into your browser and add a forward-slash at the end. Or paste this in: http://uk.geocities.com/writer33uk/ Personally I don't think I'm going to bookmark it.

Hi Kelly, Mark posted almost 3 months ago, so maybe it's a bit outdated. Why don't you email him (just click on the red 'Mark Piggot' at the top of his post)? Good luck. Ps. Have you checked out Young ABC Tales?

I take it that the 'reputable publishing house' is 'Pickard' - 'specialists in brochure design'? The link to your web page does not work BTW.

Is Pickard a subsidiary of Favour & Favour? Or am I confusing them with Poppycock Publications?

I agree with you Sirat, he's certainly got style! Whatever we think he's made progress. Well done. Good luck.
