The publishing industry
doesn’t give any free passes. Ever opportunity, conversation, meeting, email,
and phone call has a price. Nothing is free for anyone.
What is the price? Time.
Time is the most valuable
currency that a writer, publisher, editor, or agent has to give. Those emails,
phone calls, etc. also have a finite price tag. Someone is on the clock
somewhere, but those dollars are not as precious as time.
