: Re: No English degree, what are my chances on successfully publishing a novel? I don't have an English or Writing-related degree in any way. As of right now, I have no degree, but what I mean

Depends on how you define success. If you want to monetarily recoup your efforts, you'd be better off investing in a high risk investment vehicle such as bitcoin or IBM. If you are truly talented at writing, you still need a lot of luck and skill to rise above the enormous amount of noise.

For commercial success, you need to determine who is your marketable audience and write to them. The style and subject matter must be compelling. Why would a stranger read your novel? It really helps to be famous, beautiful or have an amazing backstory.
