I currently work in a big digital marketing agency and do a lot of copy editing and writing. I've always loved to write, and have only recently rediscovered my passion for it outside of my job and started writing again for myself.

My question is - how does someone begin to meet with/get in contact with publishers, and also (two part question - sorry!), is it important to have a 'portfolio' or can you just present a single work? I know you're a self-publisher, and I'm also really curious as to how you start doing that...

This is such fantastic advice and thank you so much for taking the time to respond! I really appreciate it.

Just a quick follow up Q (if you have the time), do you use a specific program to write and format your work?
