Welcome to the unofficial first episode of my new Series 'The Path to Publication' which will follow me, Sam Proof, documenting my attempts to publish my first novel: Gone. Follow me as I attempt to get a literary agent, find a publisher and make the dream of seeing my book on a shelf in bookstores nation wide. Along the way, you'll not only get to see a very personal part of my life, but I'll explore concepts of writing and this thing we call 'Story'.
