So how do you get a sci-fi book published?
I've got one hammered out, I'm sending it off to agents, one rejection so far (From a pretty huge guy with a pretty full list so that's expected) and each day that passes with radio silence I'm getting more and more on edge and desperate for someone to just accept it.
I'm somewhere between eat a baby feet first and watch Harvey Weinstein beat off into a potted plant levels of desperate for an agent.
