Many years ago I did a creative writing course, which was very useful for getting feedback from people who knew - it was run by a couple who had published about 30 novels, radio plays and screenplays between them, so they knew what they were talking about*. I would recommend you find someone similar, who can give you good feedback on your writing, and help you find your way to getting it published.
It may not be as small a market as you think. If you can write well it almost doesn't matter what your subject matter is. There are endless streams of books published here about the misfortunes, mishaps and poignant moments involved in being a vet/doctor/gardener/rat killer/dustbin man/publican/policeman/whatever, and some of them have made their authors very wealthy. *I'm a good writer, but a dilettante! -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of David J Brooks > Sent: 25 March 2007 16:49 > To: Pentax Discuss > Subject: OT Anyone ever attempted or didi write a book > > Just something in the back of my head, for something to do down thw > road one day. > > I have been with this survey company for over 33 years now, and have > travelled extensivly and have witnessed a huge change in the industry > over the years. > > I tend to wind up telling stories of old jobs at the water cooler and > lunch table.
