6. I did send out a few queries, but not many.

My husband and I really liked the idea of self-publishing, and had some good ideas about marketing. They just didn't produce the results we wanted.

I found this publisher in a round-about way. I started working with a book shepherd I found on-line. The original idea was just to have her help me get my website redone and find someone to help with PR. But then she approached a publisher friend of hers with it, and she offered me a contract. (It's still not completely settled, but I think it will be.)

Again, marketing is key. I've spoken to writers who do their own marketing, and they like the independence of it. It just didn't work for me.
