HOW TO GET PUBLISHED IN 2016:

1. Read everything in sight- the classics, post modernism, poetry, etc.
2. Now, work on your writing. Practice, practice practice. Develop a style.
3. Organize your ideas... Begin writing.
4. Make sure your story involves romance, elements of Greek tragedy, somewhere a Byronic hero, and most importantly- something of political significance...tie in Marxism, and be sensational about it.
5. Now, you're ready for the final step. You will transition to female- mtf trans.

There is no way that you wouldn't get published or at least get attention and scholarship offers from ivy league universities. Just an idea for you impoverished and desperate anons.

Is it ok if I skipped straight to step five?

>>8032982

Good idea, gotta give it a shot.
>>
>>8032799
For real though:

1. Dress up as qt grill.
2. Post pics
3. Do whatever; I don't really care after those first two

i don't recall a single prominent tranny author

now, taking a pen name of the opposite gender might be a good idea :^) i mean it will give you additional attention
>>
>>8035029
Exactly. If you are a semi attractive trap, and you peddle your written nonsense, doors will open. Finally get into Yale or Harvard. Finally get published. Establish social media and followers.
>>
>>8035071
i dont get how your 'exactly' follows from my post whatsoever
>>
>>8035074
Precisely. The first person to actually try this would probably get pretty far. Imagine if line trap had some sort of art or novel written when she was blowing up. If it had any artistic merit, it would be a smooth ride to the bank.

>The protagonist, Thelonious "Monk" Ellison, a professor of English literature, is repeatedly criticized for not writing "black enough". Ellison is angered by the success of an Oprah-like book club's selection of a novel reflecting what is supposedly contemporary black experience, but which presents a stereotypical story. He composes a satirical response based on Richard Wright's Native Son and Sapphire's novel Push, which he first entitles My Pafology before changing it to Fuck. The talk show host, a Hollywood producer, and a panel of famous novelists, all prove more willing to accept the brutal, dehumanized black man of the novel than a middle-class intellectual like Ellison.

You mean an actual physical illness? If its that then have a family member try to submit it for you, if at all possible. If its a mental illness, then have a family member or friend come with you or get over your Aut-I mean NEETism and visit the publisher. Get published fuck boy.

>HOW TO GET PUBLISHED IN 2016:

1. Have a buddy/family in the top brass of a publishing house.
2. That's it.

Having an illness is great for publishing because the marketing department will love you.

Transexualism is so 2003. Transspeciesism is the new shit. Why was I born a human, when I'm actually a bear?

>>8036631
that's what some of them dream of...
>>
>>8036400
Absolutely. 99.9999% of what gets published is due to nepotism

>looking for agents to query to
>some are woman looking for romance novels
>most are woman who ask for things like non-binary non-white protagonists. Most of the novels they rep are just 'generic fantasy/sci-fi but with black lesbians'
step 5 is looking pretty good.
