Are you ready to let someone read your novel?
So you finally managed to finish your book.
Good job! It’s not easy, it takes a lot of work, dedication and courage.
And now are you ready to let someone read your novel?
When should I submit my book?
There is no rule for determining the right time to submit your book to someone.
You certainly don’t have to wait for your novel to be perfect, because that will never happen.
After you’ve reviewed what you’ve written several times and let a few days pass between one review and the next, it’s time to be brave and let the world know about your novel.
Who should read my books first?
You have to choose the right people to submit your book to.
The right person doesn’t have to be the one you love, your partner, or even your father or mother. Just because they love you, they don’t express an objective opinion. Or if they express a negative opinion it could ruin your relationship.
So you should submit your book to a friend (preferably a regular reader) who will be able to tell you honestly if they liked your book or not. And if you’re so lucky to have a writer friend, they’ll also be able to give you some technical advice.
An absolutely necessary part of a writer’s equipment, almost as necessary as talent, is the ability to stand up under punishment, both the punishment the world hands out and the punishment he inflicts upon himself.
Irwin Shaw
