Progress

Progress? I’ve made none, at least in regard to publishing my books.

I got a ‘no’ email from an independent publisher yesterday, which I find interesting because they’re one of the (unnamed) examples I gave in my previous post. It’s probably just as well since I want to be with a publisher who puts out a quality product.

I have probably another week or so left in my read-aloud of Next Time, and then I’ll need to do some serious pondering. I’ll probably look at more independent publishers and send some queries, but I’ll also need to think about self-publishing again.

If I go the latter route, at least this time around there are services like Book Baby that offer packages to help with some of the marketing. Before when I self-published it was mainly for my family and friends to be able to read my books, but I think the ones I’ve written recently deserve a shot at a larger audience. Not that the others didn’t, but this time I’m expanding my scope. Dream big, they said. Shoot for the moon, they said.

Actually, nobody said that. At least to me. About writing. But I’m going to anyway.
