Well, I guess I'm in the wrong place! I'm not a "genre fiction writer." I write non-fiction--mainly about China. I've had two books in print, one an academic study of South China in the 1930s published by M. E. Sharpe and another, self-published, on that disaster area--American public education. I'm four pages short of finishing another manuscript--this one I call "China: a Contemplation," a popularized account based on my 60 years of studying and living in China and with the Chinese--a description of Chinese culture and history generally unknown or misunderstood by Westerners. I haven't yet decided whether to seek a publisher myself, search for an agent, or simply self-publish again--either in print or via internet. Going with an agent or a publisher takes soooooo long before the book appears--self-publishing is quick but somewhat unsatisfying. Any ideas out there?
