It’s Time

The time has come to move forward with self-publishing.

I’ve tried to find an agent, I’ve pitched my books to independent publishers, and so far have found no takers. Barring a last-minute note of interest from an indie publisher, on Monday I’m going to reach out to a company I’ve been looking at for over a year. They’ll create a cover, format the book for both print and e-readers, make it available in multiple catalogs and sites, print it on demand, and push out ads.

We’ll see how this turns out. Could be just a vanity project that I can use as a tax write-off, but it’d be nice to at least sell enough to cover the cost. I have to admit, I do feel a little excited at the realization that my book (and hopefully plural books) is finally going to be published.

Yesterday I finished the short story I was writing. Today I’m going to start reading through First one more time and in a few days will start the process of getting it published.
