Publishing Larry & Mick

As one or two of you may have noticed, I have now amassed quite a collection of Larry & Mick stories within these pages, and I am at the point where I would like to look into getting them published - i.e. getting paid to write them, rather than just posting them on ABC Tales. I've never seriously looked into getting published before, so I've no idea where to start. Anyone got any suggestions?

I thank you in advance for whatever wisdom and advice you may be able to offer...

I'd love you to run it by them, Nikaya! To be honest, I was thinking more in terms of magazines, newspapers & the like, rather than hard-back - I've looked a bit into that & it seems a very tough nut to crack! If I can just get some sort of circulation & payment, that would be a huge boost to my confidence, & who knows where it may lead...? Thank you, Nikaya, for your prompt response, & for offering to assist me on my path to literary recognition! "P"

Ooh, I'm all excited! I've never taken my writing seriously before, & although L+M are not exactly 'serious' (probably the furthest thing from it!), I definitely want to try & 'do something' with'em... ...Keep me posted, Nikaya! (PS. in the interests of Mutual Backslapping, I've just taken a butchers at your '2060 Magpies' and it's... mind-boggling stuff! Not the sort of thing you can casually peruse in between processing invoices at work... Have you done or are you planning on doing anything with your poetry beyond ABC Tales?)

I'm all for spontaneity - although I do find it a difficult word to spell... As you may have guessed, my Larry & Micks don't come about through hours of careful planning. If that sort of way of life appeals to you, you should definitely read Danny Wallace's 'Yes Man'... Hilarious and yet also deeply inspiring! "P"

Thanks again, Nikaya! I have my hand firmly upon my headgear and joyfully await further updates... "P"
