Good advice–but I’ve never read so many RUN-ON SENTENCES in my entire life.
You should have asked me to edit it! (By the way, I also write fast–book #9 comes out next year, and I have more than 700 articles in newspapers and magazines to my credit. Etcetera.)

I love this article. I find that the best stuff I write, I do it as you described. Like the other person above, I would like to know how to get something published. Publishers all seem to have their doors closed unless you have been published. Any advise? Even Hayhouse will not accept anything unless you have an agent.

It is a circle.

Does being published on the web count to an agent? Or publishing house?

I love your stuff.

Great advice Stuart. A little feedback, however: It’s reassuring to hear that you are such a prolific and successful writer, but I do find it bothersome to read advice from an expert when the advice is presented in a sloppy manner. Perhaps it would be prudent to clean up your article a bit. Avoid the run-on sentence and use Caps and punctuation where appropriate. In all however, strong an valid advice. Thank-you.

Great article. You’ve addressed how to write a book. However, once the draft is ready, where and how did you go about publishing it? How do we go about reaching out to the right editor and publishers as a new author? Did you have any investments upfront that you had to make before the publisher paid your to publish your book? Please guide.

Hi Stuart,I live in Southern Spain and have written 10 articles on my experiences which have been published on a website.I am a beginner and have flirted with the idea of writing something bigger with a few ideas I have.My problem is in believing in myself that anyone else would be interested or that they would be of value.My articles do get read,do I just not worry what anyone else thinks and go ahead?

I intend to write the 120 word story and accept the challenge. Stuart Wilde is one of my favorite authors. Madi
