Hi there,
Not sure if this is the best place to ask about it. It is summer holiday now so it is almost impossible to contact my international student office for these more complex issues.
I am an international student doing my PhD. I finished a novel previously and submitted to an agency WITHOUT telling them that I am an international student. Please note that I did not write for the purpose of generating profit, it was mainly a hobby of mine. However, a few days ago, the agent reached back to me that they are interested in it, and want to have a further discussion with me.
I just got the idea of sending it to agencies after many of my friends said it is good quality stuff and I might as well publish it... Never imagined it could really be so successful.
But if I have the chance to really publish it and generate some income from doing so, it would mean the world to me. Writing has always been my passion. It is wonderful if I can generate some money towards my own tuition and living expenses as well.
I wrote the whole piece in English, so publishing in my home country is not a good choice.
So now I am wondering:
1) Can I really get any publishing contract as an international student in the UK?
2) If not, what is the best way for me to do something with my work? I now see that it has potential and really do not want to waste it...
Thank you.
