Thread: Has anyone ever been easily published?

I'm not talking about self-publishing.

If getting published was easy, everyone would be published.

LOL exactly. I think it's meant to be a long hard road that only the dedicated and strong are willing to walk...

The only "easy" sounding publishing story I've ever heard was Stephanie Meyer *twilight*. If I recall correctly she was published not long after she wrote the book.

What are you considering 'published' for this question? I was published 'easily' in my local newspaper and pretty easily (only one rejection) in an Australian magazine. This may not be what you want to know about, though.
