I think getting any book published as a new author is very difficult. If someone like Diane Fanning or Ann Rule decided to write a JBR book, it would be pretty easy for them to get it published because they already have their foot in the door. Same goes for John Ramsey or someone who has a direct connection to this case, because it gives them a marketing angle since the author might know new exclusive information about the case that they would share in the book.
Dave, do you have an agent? I believe that helps a lot when you want publishers to look at your work since they get thousands of manuscripts.
Thanks for the feedback, eileenhawkeye.
So persistence and a literary agent would facilitate the goal.
I just wondered if it was the perspective of the book that was of issue.
Looking forward to it's eventual publication,
also just wondered if ... it's a niche book,
and what other difficulties SD might be facing in his attempts.
Yes, I'm aware of SG's pre-election stance.
I dunno, following the JBR case .... it's a frustrating exercise,
I'm just left of fence-sitting, unable to ignore
PR's designation in the handwriting analysis,
and
unable to comprehend how the hymenal erosion issue can be a non-issue.
Within the subculture, the precarious nature of the dna results is a consideration, but the popular media has declared it otherwise.
Not intending to be abrupt? or duplicitous,
it' just difficult to negotiate that grey area, when you're a FSer.
