Publication Quest
June 24, 2007 | Uncategorized
In a few months I’ll have to rename this blog feature, Publication News ! Signed and sent off the official contract, artwork questionaire, blurbs. Exciting stuff!
Got a lovely rejection, yes that does sound like a contradiciton. But it truly was very kind and included an invitation to submit something else. I’m gnashing my teeth because I can only work on one thing at a time and have nothing to send her at the moment. Later, it is the best I can do.
In the meantime, I’d revised the story I submitted (saving the submitted version of course) and felt it now fit another excellent publisher even better. Re-submitted it the same day I received the rejection.
Back to work on the next Dangerous story. When it’s time for this one to rest, between the first and second drafts – then I’ll have a go at a new story for the second tasteful editor.
Current year’s goals updated
1) Continue to study and learn the craft of writing.
2) Three submissions – done – follow up with a sequels to each *
3) In roads into the TBR shelves
Progress report
1) Read craft stuff – I think I’m addicted to this too!
Five submissions sent! Two novels, one novella x 2, and one short
Status: One sale – two rejections – two waiting to hear from the publishers
Timeline:
Number Two: Sold!
Number three: Two months three weeks – estimated response time from publisher none**
Number four: Rejected and resubmitted – new estimated response time – one to twelve months
*Yes, I do admit this is an insane plan, but I need to stay busy. If I have idle time I become even more neurotic and imagine unpleasant things. Far better to put my twisted mind to work developing more dangerously sexy stories.
**Publisher did acknowledge the submission, but included a warning not to contact them about submissions to this line. IMHO Three months is long enough for them to have an exclusive.
TBR stack is even – bought a book, read a book . . .
