Keep Chasing That Dream...

As you can guess…

One of the toughest things to do is picking the right publishers to pitch your FABULOUS manuscript…

There are some publishers who want the luxury of three-to-six months to make their decision, without you asking any other publishers to look at your work.  These publishers want exclusive rights to say yes or no… without any pressure from other proposals.

Thinking that we would have publishers fighting over our materials, we made the conscious decision to put these “exclusive” publisher requests at the end of our lists.

Well, we’re at the end of our list for Silhouette of a Friendship…From the Inside Out.  It’s time to contact the “exclusive” publishers… one by one… with 3-6 months breaks between them…

BUT!!!!

My favorite publisher — the one I REALLY want to take us on!!... the one that would be PERFECT for us!!! — is on this exclusive list. 

We tried earlier… asking, begging, pleading… if they would bend the “exclusive submission” rule, but… well, you can guess their response… or rather… their non-response.

Anyway… that was then, and now is now. 

I feel that we’ve waited an appropriate time of mourning for the other publishers and are ready to pursue this new suitor!

I’m heading off to the post office now.  Wish us luck!
