If you're unpublished and unagented, it's going to take you at least a year to write the novel; it may take you two weeks to a year or more to land an agent; then two weeks to a year or more to land a publisher; at the publisher Jeri Westersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621322664609246112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-6426776274555345752012-06-24T12:29:55.109-04:002012-06-24T12:29:55.109-04:00Thanks for sharing this information.

He asked if I'd be willing to write a 3-book series he had in mind "with a Scottish flavor." We're at the very beginning of the process, and I truly appreciate your "road map."
