Recently, my therapist sent my latest "Pretty Gladiator" manuscript to a friend of hers, who works in the publishing business. She loved it, but, to get a second opinion, she sent my manuscript to a friend of HERS, who helps take care of LGBT works. And that editors' suggestion -- send it out at once. She gave me a list of three editors of major publishing companies (all LGBT-related publishers), as well as the name of someone who would give me a best agent of someone who would shop my book around. And those who arent self-publishers know that having a good agent is very important in sending out your manuscript (so I heard).

Here's hoping.
