I wrote a novel back during college and have also written a few screenplays since then. This is the first one I feel confident enough in to really go all in on trying to get published. I'm still editing, of course, but as I might have mentioned before, I'm working with an agent to at least get my query letter in top shape (since I have no idea how to write a proper query on my own and it can sink the project before an agent even looks at the actual pages...). But I feel like I've finally broken free of a lot of my negative writing habits with this manuscript.

And I wouldn't want to self-publish because I have no real internet presence and am not good at building one, and self-publishing and failing can also close the door on chances at mainstream publishing.

Good luck. I haven't had any luck getting signed for mine. It could be that I'm writing in a dead genre, it could be my query letter isn't good, or it could be that I'm not setting myself up for success with how I'm querying -- or maybe all three -- but I hope you're more fortunate than I am.
