I'm currently writing a few different pieces I'd like to get published, but I'm not sure how one would go about doing so. I've looked at teh websites of some reputable publishing companies, but very few welcome unknown authors without an agent. A lot of the other websites I've visited seemed a little fishy to me and a little "too good to be true".
I'm hoping someone might have some advice for an aspiring writer. Here's some pertinant information:
-I live in the US
-I write fiction (some about the paranormal, some realistic, and some "mysteries" of sorts)
-I have very little money to invest initially (in the neighborhood of 0)
-I would prefer to publish several pieces under a "nom de plume"
-I'm not looking to make the best seller's list, but I would like to make some money off of my work
Thanks!
