My First Thriller: Heather Graham ‹ CrimeReads

Bestselling crime author Heather Graham knows. She lived it back then. She started out like most writers buying a Writers Market and mailing her bricks of paper to publishers via snail mail. And then she waited. Of course, this created a two-way street that sometimes worked to your advantage, she says. "If you said a manuscript was ready and it wasn't, you could blame the post office."

"The publishing world has changed drastically since then," she says.
