In fact, I’ve already finished it in first draft – 370 pages. I’m now about to make a third trip to Chicago to visit the National Archives for the Great Lakes Region for additional research. I never imagined I would write a non-fiction book, and went through the University of Washington’s Writers Program several years ago – in the fiction section. Had a few stories published, but then let my writing go while pursuing other things. Then I was given a great opportunity – a non-fiction story met me halfway (I was seeking/it was looking). I fell in love with it and have only to continue and re-write – then get an agent. I will not waste my time with contacting publishers myself – it’s a mind-numbing, time-wasting exercise. Once it’s done to my liking, I’ll contact a likely agent (Found in Writer’s Market), and go from there.
