  I have decided to self-publish PESTILENT: A Zombie Apocalypse Novel . This decision isn’t due to rejections but rather the nature of the submission process. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a rejection of the book, as most of the responses I received were based on query letters and reviews of only a few sample chapters, which likely weren’t read in full due to the sheer volume of submissions. As many literary agencies have stated, if a manuscript doesn’t match what they’re looking for, they won’t proceed.

As of now, I am still searching for traditional publishers—yes, you can have multiple publishers if your book is exceptional. On the other hand, my ambitions extend beyond just publishing; I also envision it being adapted into a movie. As I mentioned before, this process may take weeks to several months, filled with thousands of Query Letter rejections that can cause paranoia. Sometimes, it feels like my castaway homie is spoofing my emails just to mess with my mind while I search for publishers that align with the type of manuscript they’re looking for. In the meantime, I’m taking a break from writing and mostly blogging on Facebook and my blogging websites. The rest of my time is spent working out at the gym, enjoying foodies, and returning to my humble music studio to remake some of my older self-published musical albums, as well as create new material. Perhaps, sign a record label for more music streams. You can visit my SoundCloud to listen to my tracks. Synopsis: The story begi...
