You seem to be wary of not being associated with Donald Trump. That's nice and woke, but why would anyone insert contemporary politics into a work of fiction? Reference, in his own story, to the author's politics is a big no-no, or so I thought. The reader wants to be immersed in a fantasy world, not be jerked out of the tale, out of his imagination, back into the mundane real world, by the author's opinion on current politics.
I appreciate all the information you shared. This will really help writers better understand the journey that publishing requires. Congratulations and I hope you are proud for sticking this one through till the end!
You are an inspiration whose footsteps, I would love to follow some day.
Can't wait to read the story.
Wish you an amazing and fulfilling journey ahead.
Thank you for sharing this journey! It is equal parts foreboding and inspiring!
Writing (and getting published) is a torturous endeavour but wins like yours make us all hope!
Loved reading this! I'm glad you were able to get published!
I've been sitting on 6-7 hard sci fi stories for around a decade ... been afraid of that next step. Reading this gives me hope!

So, did you actually make a living wage from this story? Did you even make minimum wage?
