O! LJ Hivemind! Answer my query!
I have gotten a bunch of agent/publisher rejections on my novel, Song of the Cinder. The reason for most is "it was interesting and the writing was great, but had too many weird elements for us to market" etc. etc. I've gotten too many of these to think it's just a platitude.
Honestly, I wrote it weird, because I love Weird.
But I'm losing hope that any publisher would want to touch it because of sales/marketing logistics.
So, I was thinking of going the Kindle Direct Publishing route. What can anyone suggest/warn me about this? I'm a little leery of what the rights entail and what that could mean for my book in the future.
Help?
