Ieeeee!
Friday, April 30, 2004Guess what I got in the mail today!
I have my contract! It's official...I'm going to be published by Zumaya. They're a great publisher, and I'm honored and excited to be a part of it.
It's long, but very straight forward. I've been reading it slowly the past hour.
Now it all feels real. Like it really is going to happen. On the first page, where it says "Author Name" it says My name. Where it says "working Title" it says Blue Moon.
So, now, all sorts of things will happen. I'll sugn both coies of the contract and send one back. I'll begin the editing process. I'll try and figure out changes to my web page. I'll write a back jacket blurb and discuss the cover. I'll try and figure out how to publicise it without being a total pain in everyone's rear. I can mention my impending puboication to others...the fact that my book has been accepted should help me sell my short stories.
I should probably take down the except from Blue Moon. At least until I have the final version.
But...finally...I'll soon be able to call myself an author. Permalink Cindy scribed this at 5:12 PM
