A Journey to Get the Funding I Needed to Get My Manuscript Published

happen to be an aspiring writer and it’s also quite difficult to make sufficient funds to settle the debts when you never have yet been published. I went on the internet to search for grants for writers to see if there was any money available that would help me with my expenses while I was showing my manuscript around to numerous publishers. Anybody trying to become a writer faces a lot of rejection and you have to hear a a number of no’s before everyone finally hear a yes and it is not easy to acquire grant money as well so while I’m planning to get my dream going I have experimented with a variety of ways to raise funds.

One thing I thought would help me raise some dough fairly rapidly may be selling a timeshare that I inherited from my own grandma. She had a nice unit on the Hawaiian island of Oahu and I have even stayed there a couple of times myself. I thought I could get a respectable amount of money for the unit but when I started trying to sell it I came to the realization that it’s not easy to get rid of an unwanted timeshare. There usually are not very many buyers for them and there are a whole lot of people selling. The laws of supply and demand will dictate that this circumstance can be a recipe for lowball offers.

I was able to raise a little money selling numerous items I had lying around on auction web sites. I got rid of a number of classic comic books, baseball cards along with other collectibles and made some decent cash but I wasn’t exactly in a position to replace the supply to maintain selling that sort of stuff. I was getting desperate to not only make money but to spend less wherever I possibly could so I proceeded to go on the internet and started looking at cheap auto insurance in California to determine I might be able to get a better rate on my month to month expenses. Luckily, it didn’t take much time at all to learn that I was forking out much more than I needed to. I changed companies and now I’m saving around $550 a year.

After conducting an exhaustive search and plenty of paperwork I was ultimately in a position to get a writing grant that’s going to provide me with enough funds to invest a couple of months pitching my manuscript to numerous publishers. Perhaps I’ll get lucky and find a major publishing deal and have a best seller.
