Finally got around to reading this post.

Zak, I wish you luck. I think you have it in you to get published. It takes persistence, quality, and of course, luck. Now, you need all three, unfortunately, but if you never try, then you'll for sure never get published. 🙂 Not sure how much you've researched, but trad publishing can be very cutthroat. It's a business after all. That's why a lot of people go the self-publishing route.

We plan on launching the Scholar and Scribe Discord where we can discuss such topics. You can add me on Discord now if you want. I offered editing services before, and I'm offering them again now. My name is the same as here.

Once again, good luck. You have my utmost confidence and support. 👏
