Daniel All good advice here. I just wanted to add that you'll need an iron shell as you go through this process. Don't fear rejection just keep trying. Be sure of yourself and eventually someone else will "get it". I know nothing about publishing books but I know quite a bit about being a...

Kenji burgers anyone?
