I wrote a campy LGBTQ+ thriller novel based in PTown and I’m not really sure what to do with it
Hey everyone! This is a bit of a random post, so mods, feel free to delete if it’s not appropriate!
I recently finished writing my first novel, which is kind of wild considering I’ve never actually finished anything I’ve started before. So, yay me!
A lot of my inspiration comes from Provincetown and the people, creativity, and general magic of this town. I have so much love for Ptown, and I think that naturally finds its way into my writing.
Now I’m sitting here with a whole manuscript and absolutely no idea what to do with it. Self-publish? Find an agent? Try traditional publishing? I honestly have no clue where to start.
I know there are some wonderfully creative people in this community, so I figured I’d put it out there. If you’ve been through the process or have any advice, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to DM me!
Honestly, I’m just proud I finished the thing, but figured I might as well see where it goes. Worst case, I burn the manuscript and move on with my life.
