  4. I’m getting ready to resubmit my book, Enigma Rose, to a different Bookends agent. When I submitted it the first time, it was prior to a lot of things: prior to hiring a professional editor, prior to setting up a web site, prior to just taking a step back. I hope I have better success this time. I started down the self-publishing path as well. I have a cover, etc., but I have not taken that final step yet. I would rather be traditionally published as no author has ever said…yea right! I find these videos very helpful, and it gives me insight into your world, one that I am very clueless about. Thank you!
