How to submit One fateful day, as Shio was on his way home from work, he boarded a train and witnessed two men engaged in a heated argument, which escalated to the sound of a gunshot. Curiosity compelled Shio to tail these men, and the reasons for his actions unravel in the story, raising questions about potential danger. The basic difference is this: legitimate publishers make their money by selling books to the general public; vanity publishers claim to do this, but actually make their money by selling publishing services to unwary authors. Some things which aren’t vanity publishing…

Until recently Preditors & Editors would have been your first port of call if you had any doubts about a given publisher. This fantastic database kept tabs on a huge number of publishing companies, magazines and agents, tallying reports from writers and flagging up companies that might be operating in a less-then-ethical manner. Unfortunately, despite providing a sterling service to the writing community since 1997, P&E never quite received the level of support it deserved. It’s currently mothballed, awaiting a new caretaker. Shio works as a Customer Service Representative at Kigen Technologies. He follows his routine life to stay on the right side of the wall. He toes the line, does his job and maintains normality. One day while returning from work, he started chasing two guys and ended up on the wrong side of the wall. Shio was found by Key. What will happen as Key interrogates Shio?The story is gripping. The characters are written well by the author. Being in a corporate, I could relate well to Shio not liking his job. I appreciate the vivid imagination of the author in creating the fantasy world in the story. Read this book to know if Shio and Key will uncover the truth. Go ahead with this book without any second thoughts.

Getting an agent can be such an impossible task that your instinct – when one replies to you brimming over with enthusiasm and praise for your work – might be to jump at the opportunity. But be careful: hidden fees could be just over the horizon. Legitimate agents usually make their money by taking a reasonable chunk out of any money that they make by selling your work. If they want paying up front, consider the possibility that they don’t plan on actually selling your work at all. Writing competitions Shio was a genius but his friends got jobs and moved away.
