Just in case you wondered... Monday, November 22, 2004 I sent Blue Moon to Baen books August 31, 2002. Saturday I finally received my email rejection letter. So, I would think that sending your book to Baen via the email form on the webpage, no matter how tempting, is probably not the way to go. Glad I didn't wait. :-) Rejections, by the way, are much sweeter when they come on books you've sold somewhere else. I didn't bother telling them (You should, by the way, tell a publisher if they're holding one of your books if you've sold it...it's only polite.) because I tried contacting them at the year and 6 months and the two year point. I received no response (they have to be flooded, I actually feel kind of bad for them) and figured that, well, they didn't even have the book anymore. So my advice would be to query Baen. Luna never did return Balancing Act. They also never wrote me when I told them that it'd been sold. I wonder why? Sometimes, with these things, you wonder if you've somehow peeved someone off but then you figure that there are just so many people out there trying to get published that you kind of get lost in the flood. I received a copy of The Book of Ballads in the mail today, a compilation of the comic drawn by Charles Vess and written by many different authors, including Neil Gaiman. It's absolutely lovely...I'm one of those weirdoes who love the New Book Smell, and this one smells so good...the art is gorgeous black and white pen and ink, and the stories, all traditional old time ballads translated by different writers into comic book form, are fabulous. I am a very happy reviewer person. Permalink Cindy scribed this at 7:30 PM 0 comments
