There aren’t any traditionally published laymen’s books about asexuality, so I decided I’m just the girl to write one.<\/p>\n
After all, I’ve been interviewed in magazines, radio, and visual media.\u00a0 I’ve made helpful videos on YouTube and have nearly 1,500 subscribers.\u00a0 I’m followed by a lot of people on Tumblr and LiveJournal and AVEN regarding asexuality.\u00a0 So, since “who you are” matters more<\/em> in selling a nonfiction book than what you’ve actually written, I decided if anyone’s qualified to write one it’s me.\u00a0 And I’ve begun to do so.<\/p>\n This one won’t be handled the same way I’ve handled my fiction, though.\u00a0 Nonfiction books are often sold based on the idea\/the author, and often get purchased before they’re written.\u00a0 I plan to have a first draft before I query, but I also don’t intend to solicit a test audience until or unless I find representation or a publisher for it.\u00a0 I will be querying agents, though, even though you don’t necessarily need one for nonfiction, because I feel more comfortable doing it that way.<\/p>\n This is going to be FAST because I’ve said all this stuff before and I just have to figure out how to organize it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There aren’t any traditionally published laymen’s books about asexuality, so I decided I’m just the girl to write one.
