This is an important principle for - perhaps - all but a very small number of people: make your book part of a creative portfolio. Me, broadly: 1. Mentor and teacher. 2. Occasional lecturer 3. Editor 4. Write across genre, but also form - and starting more commercial work under a pen name
BookwormVaught - Dr Anna VaughtTry to make this book part of a broader creative portfolio - maybe you organize an online event, write a few short stories, start a writing group, whatever it might be: this is very good for morale, improves perspective & takes the weight off one single book, one like a sword of Damocles above you

It’s where your book meets market, meets taste, meets timing. (Or possibly meets not very good advice in the first place - hides; runs away).
BookwormVaught - Dr Anna VaughtFor querying writers & #writingcommunity I see people across socials who are upset that they cannot find an agent/indie publisher despite having glowing professional feedback on their novel - such as a manuscript review or assessment. They don't understand how this can be and feel something's amiss
On writing and publishing…being not quite the same thing and thoughts on coping. Although things can always change and sometimes suddenly, for a sustainable career as a published writer for the vast majority of people, the best approach is one of portfolio - in which writing a book is one part 💙📚
BookwormVaught - Dr Anna Vaught1. There are no guarantees 2. Publishing pros are frequently dealing with vast numbers & that limits time for something that doesn't strike home. 3. Writing and publishing are interlinked of course, but ALSO separate. See point 1. A fine book may not get attention in the way you had hoped, assumed
