I know Veeky Forums hates creative writing classes, but I'm curious, who do authors show their work either after they graduated or if they plan to go directly into publishing their work? I'm under the impression that you don't get to show things to an editor/agent until you actually prove you're good (in other words, get published).
Landon Howard
Their editors.
Every non-self-published book has been run by a professional editor at least once.

Wew. Literally no one cares about your edgy sociopath slashfic. You sound really boring.
Chase Collins
That manga made me depressed to the point of actually trying to kill myself
Alexander Sanchez
Stop hurting him
Jack Ramirez
Why talk to a person who sounds really boring?
Angel Long
In the hopes that he'll stop publicly navel-gazing and get over himself. I'm fine with him thinking that he's the shit privately, but don't force user to read dorky threads that you make about it.
John Rodriguez
Lol, try and stop me, queer.
Adrian Wilson
>navel-gazing He asked a question.
Jacob Carter
>try and s-stop me
Wew.
Jose Torres
The manga is better than the anime? I've heard that the anime sucks
Dylan Harris
Damn, you're more of an annoying faggot than him
James Harris
It is plus the artstyle is much cuter. When people say the anime sucked 95% of the time they mean the roto-scoped abominations.
Matthew Roberts
Na he makes try hard threads about the "fucked up shit" that he writes. That is objectively worse in every way.
We can all tell you feel like a wretched queer inside. Stop making it other people's problem.
Eli Nguyen
Read your first post and then read this post again.
Evan Martinez
If you're too dumb to use the Internet to find places to recruit beta readers and critics, your writing probably needs more than that.
As long you get the attention with your query, and the rest is good, you don't have to prove shit. Being previously published only helps you with negotiations.
Ayden Bennett
Dunno what you're on about. I'm not OP, dickteeth.
Zachary Jackson
Sure you're not. You're just another completely unrelated guy who is so beta that he is whiteknighting for your edgy thread. Yeah right.
Noah Clark
Lol. You're a well and truly cock addled reprobate aren't you?
Lincoln Martin
Quad 7s instant win.
You bant like a closet case btw.
Ian Garcia
Checked
Adrian Hill
>closet case
Wow, cunning manoeuvre. OP asked a question and all you think to do is shit on him. You're not the cool, disaffected person you think you are otherwise you wouldn't be using all that autistic language. Be nice. I know you see yourself in OP. Love yourself.
Landon Gray
>Wow, cunning manoeuvre.
Dude you were being inordinately homoerotic with every single post. And I don't hate OP as a person. Just his shit thread.
Xavier Barnes
>That's all good and dandy, but I write fucked up shit, such that I could never show it to anyone without my reputation being harmed. you have to be corrected for style, not for content, you fucking retard. just write normal stuff and share it with normal people
Connor Cook
Is the monkey dead?
Christopher Walker
the monkey is fine
Justin Turner
What if he can't write unless he's writing fucked up shit? I know many people who can't write unless they're writing about a certain subject or in a certain genre
Easton Brown
it's just words, just change them afterwards with puppies and rainbows.
Parker Hill
>He "puppies" the woman's skull with his throbbing "rainbow"
That's fucking hilarious, sounds like some avant garde shit.
