From the cost of self-publishing to the zero cost of publishing on Kindle. I really tried to find a literary agent or publisher for my non-fiction rewrite of the Great Promise - 'World War 1 - An Unkept Promise', but for all of my efforts not one agent was interested, or perhaps I didn't write an acceptable book query. I find it disturbing that the quality of one's book is dependent upon writing a query that meets an agent's strict requirements, which is not standardized, thus forces the author to write a query for each agent.
After feedback on my e-book, 'An Unkept Promise', some thought that the chapters on researching for the three chums and my trip to England was too drawn out. So I rewrote my second book eliminating a lot of the details, as well as reducing details from the chapter on his military career after the journal ended.
I rewrote the book and titled it "From Notes and Well Remembered Incidences" then converted it to e-book format and published it on Kindle.
What I am finding is there is increased interest in "World War 1 - An Unkept Promise". I'm also discovering that the volume of sales increases the more I blog.
