She wrote her first novel for adults at the age of 71, had her biggest hit, The Camomile Lawn, a year later and sold over 3 million books before dying at 90. So you're just a spring chicken, a mere slip of a girl, perhaps even a little young and inexperienced to be considering a literary career just yet!

I’m looking forward to sharing writing experiences with you.
I have “finished” a mystery novel, still needing some fact checking and editing. My plan is to hire an editor and then put it on a print and demand website such as lulu.com.
Reason: I don’t want the hassle of trying to sell and promote it. Yet don’t want it to land in a drawer, as some kind of hobby product.
Any thoughts? Any suggestions for an editor? Your opinions are welcomed.
Thanks,
Joan

At 6:48am on May 11, 2007, Elizabeth Zelvin said…: Checking in after having a great time at Malice Domestic, where Sisters in Crime swept the Agatha awards to loud whoops and hollers from the rest of us. I'm especially proud of fellow Guppies: Sandy Parshall, whose HEAT OF THE MOON took the Agatha for Best First Novel, Chris Roerden, nonfiction Agatha winner for DON'T MURDER YOUR MYSTERY, and Malice Best First Novel winner Meredith Cole, whose book will be published by St. Martin's around the same time as mine (a year from now).

At 8:36am on April 27, 2007, Jeff Markowitz said…: I enjoyed the chance to talk. Good luck with the book.

At 12:06pm on April 20, 2007, Brian Kavanagh said…: Hello Elizabeth, just catching up with friends. Good news that your book is being published by St Martin's - hope it's a great success!
Cheers,
BK

At 1:26am on April 12, 2007, Maryann Miller said…: Thanks for the invitation to be a friend. I really enjoyed your articles, especially about the shades of moral ambiguity. I really like characters who are not all black and all white - in a moral sense. :-)
