Hello Charlotte–Just read your piece on “a rag, a bone, and a hank of hair,” in the Poisoned Press and enjoyed…I am just attempting publication of a children’s series, and I wonder if you have any recommendations. I will probably go the route of self-publication. At 65, I’d too damned old to wait for the 100 rejections til you get accepted (if it ever happens).
I write the blog at http://www.biddybytes.com, utilizing the knowledge of a lifetime but unlike a character you reference, I DO notice pretty much everything about me….Hope to hear from you Charlotte and just another question: When and how did you first get published? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Hi Colleen, I read your great post on biddybytes and the terrifying near-death experience. You are already a good writer! My first publishing experience was a dream. My historical novel Come Spring was published by Simon & Schuster with terrific sub-rights sales. Then my editor was fired and everything changed, so they didn’t publish the other two books in the trilogy. I kept on writing but only sold short stories and articles. Then suddenly everything I did seemed publishable–including older historical novels and a non-fiction book.
My advice to you would be to give ebooks serious consideration. The market is changing so rapidly it’s breathtaking. Put your book on both Kindle and Nook. Good luck and let me know how it all turns out.
