You're a writer? What books have you writen? (Not being condescending, just curious)
I am unfortunately not a published novelist. Basically I've spent the last three-four years getting roundly rejected. I did get one fantasy novel returned with a note from the agent saying that they thought it had promise, but I needed to try a different agent. (I sent it to the one they suggested who sent it right back saying they had too many new fantasy authors on their books)
If you really want to read my work, my second draft for the novel I'm currently trying to get published is available here:

Along with the sequel.
Also, I had a novel self-published three years ago. It sold fifteen copies overall without any marketing, and only one of those was bought by someone I know, so I consider it a rampant success.
Also also, I had a few reviews of books published in a periodical, a couple of poems which I got fifty quid for in a university magazine when I was fourteen, and two of my short stories got printed recently, one in the Lancaster Guardian and the other in a teacher's magazine which my mum suggested to me (she works in education)
Basically, I'm not a published novelist, but I have received money for my printed works, so the title stands, I hope.
