[The VoyanceAZ.com website] Article: The magician’s booth

Good evening,

There is only one thing that truly concerns me. I have written several novels (SF, etc.) that, after many months and years of work, I consider ready to be sent to publishers.
I have made several submissions, and I know that in this business, there is also an element of luck. Do I really have a chance of being published, and more importantly, of being read?
Thank you for your reply,
Have a good weekend,
Elvraie

If you wish, and one of them can make it possible, we can publish it on the website.

On the other hand, to get a response from a psychic, you have to go to the forum and the questions sections.

Thanks for the nice offer!
I will think about it, at least for one of my three publication-ready stories. I do a lot of rereading…
Regarding my post. I have corrected my mistake and posted another message in the appropriate forum.
Happy Sunday!

Hello E

Hello Elvraie,
I think every work has potential readers; you just have to find them and find the right publisher!
I know a friend who wrote two books and started his own publishing house, and had them printed by a printer in a limited number that he shows to his friends. Some of them buy them and even advertise them. Don’t forget a good book launch if you manage to get your book published.

Have you ever created your own website with the book title?

Dear ClaudiaC,

Thank you for all your sound advice and encouragement. I persist and sign, as far as publishers are concerned, despite the rejections.
The idea of the website is very good and I have often thought about it.
I'll have to get around to it sooner or later.
As for editing and publishing one's own works, was it Maupassant, or someone else, who published his own books and they became classics? I can no longer remember precisely.
Goodbye and have a good day,
Elvraïe.

:) Hello, or rather good evening, Elvraie.
Is the primary goal to have your writing quality and the value of your work recognized, or to profit from it as quickly as possible? The approach is not quite the same: publishers begin by estimating the potential distribution of a book, and you may have to knock on many doors before finding a buyer.
That is no reason to give up or lose heart.
In any case, you have taken the first step, that of the pleasure of writing, and that is undoubtedly very important to you. I sincerely hope that the rest will follow.
Mamouch

Thank you, Mamouch, for this balm for the heart, after a rather
bitter and to top it off, another editor who rejected one of my novels.
And I had only sent a summary and three chapters (taken at random from the text, as specified). How could he have judged it? At least, he didn’t make any remarks about spelling mistakes or anglicisms. I am French, living in England with my English husband, and I write in French, which is not really easy.
As for my story, another editor, who unfortunately had not been able to purchase that same story due to a lack of funds, had paid me many compliments about it, while also sending me two paper copies of my story for free. (I had sent the text by email.)
It is this appreciation that drives me forward and helps me forget the sour editors, if you’ll pardon the expression, and the negative responses. I know that one day I will make it.

I had to step away, but I’m back. It’s true that on my island, I write in my native language because I love writing and I love French, but I also want my talent to be recognized. I’m sometimes navigating blind, especially when it comes to publishers, but my love of writing can only propel me forward.
Returning to the occult and that wonderful part of our lives, I have known for a very, very long time that I would be a published writer. Perhaps a guide, or a past life. Who knows?
Well, I hope I haven’t bothered anyone with my predictions…
Another thing. Are there any French expats in England who are online or use VoyanceAZ? I know there are some Quebecers. A little tip. Above all, do not go on a mini-cruise on P&O's cruise ships. Real scammers! For an all-inclusive cruise, except for alcohol, we had to pay for an ice cream, a Coke, and water bottles, add-ons for a steak at the grill, mandatory tips, and so on…
And to think that the cards had predicted a difficult period for me the other day. That, and the publisher’s rejection.
And I didn't want to believe the tarot that told me I would have disappointments.
Oh, and something else… While the cruise ship was docked and people were disembarking, a woman slipped and ended up in the water, because there was no barrier, not even a shoddy sign! She was pulled out, safe and sound, but still.
Have you had tarot readings like that which, in short, turned out to be accurate?
Good evening, everyone.
Kind regards, Valérie

It is quite natural, dear Elvraie, and the publisher's kind gesture of taking the trouble to send you copies of your manuscript is encouraging in any case.
As for French errors and anglicisms, I am more than happy to offer my assistance free of charge, if that would be helpful to you. It goes without saying that this is a service I can provide, that’s all.
Warm regards,
Mamouch

Your new message arrived at the same time as mine…
You mentioned a “bitter” weekend in the previous one, but you actually meant… “by the sea,” right? (I’m joking.)
As for tarot predictions, and depending on the quality of the person interpreting your reading, of course they carry a strong significance. Besides, what is the point of using them while thinking they are merely a form of entertainment? That is absolutely not the case, but I fully understand that one is more willing (willing) to be satisfied with a positive reading rather than to accept a less satisfying one, at least for the time being (this is important to emphasize, as everything evolves).
With warm regards,
Mamouch

Sorry I didn't write before, but I had a lot of work and was quite tired this week.
The lack of an accent also indicates that I am at work, or that it is currently quiet.
If you want, Mamouch, I can send you, outside of this messenger, the beginning of one of my stories.
On Monday, I emailed my story (the one that was rejected and is currently being read by editors who don't want, in their words, 'a Harry Potter or JRR Tolkien clone.')
That suits me perfectly.
Are you the one who was talking about fractales? I’m actually talking about them in my favorite trilogy. Coincidences, chaos, and the mystery of the world and of reality…
See you on Saturday…
By the way, which part of the world do you live in?
Goodbye,
El.

No, it wasn’t me, Elvraie, who was talking about “fractals,” because I don’t know the word or, consequently, its meaning…
I live in France, across the sea from you…
You can send me a page via private message if you wish, or provide me with another address in a private message.
I wish you a good evening
