    On a serious note. Getting published is damn, damn hard. I'm currently trying to, but it's not something you could actually rely on for an income, it's not feasible. How to get published? Well it depends:

    • You get lucky
    • You know someone in the industry
    • You have a commercial gimmick (aka Harry Potter)
    • You write for the current market trends and wants (which usually involves a Satanic ritual and selling your soul to Lucifer)
    • You are ridiculously good

    Some piously affirm: "The truth is such and such. I know! I see!"
    And hold that everything depends upon having the “right” religion.
    But when one really knows, one has no need of religion. - Mahavyuha Sutra

    Freedom necessarily involves risk. - Alan Watts

    Depends. For mine, I'm trying to find a small firm that specializes in military history. The small ones will usually do quality work, but not give you a ton of profit. I get very little, and it amounts to only a bit more than what I spent on research.

    That's just what happens....author's are not rich people (unless you hit it big).

    Yeah... usually being well established academically also helps from what I've seen. Articles seem to be an easyish route.

    And hey Alex, what are you trying to get published? Like what's it about???
    "No one said it was gonna be easy! If it was, everyone would do it..that's who you know who really wants it."

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut
