If I haven't been posting, it is because I have been writing! DELAFORD (part 1) is well underway. I borrowed 'e-publishing for dummies' from the library, cos that is what I may do with DELAFORD. Since I already have a print-on-demand book, and have Light the Way Home half-ready to go as an e-book, it shouldn't be too difficult to accomplish.
I am so happy that the days of packing a box full of your manuscript and shipping off your darlings are OVER. And not forgetting the return postage. It could turn out to be quite expensive. What a haul that was. And for nothing...one of the publishers, who expressed an interest in my manuscript, subsequently lost it. It disappeared when the reader who had it went to Australia. Hopefully it was not published over there! The name of that m/s was Someone Like Sean. (Someone Loike Sean?) I felt very sore at this loss for a while. Because the new person I dealt with was not half as nice and just gave me the runaround, so I gave up on that one.
It took a while for traditional publishing to catch on to electronic submissions, but even they could see the advantages of not having offices filled with reams of paper. I have ZERO interest in a publisher or agent who demands paper copies. I don't want to get published THAT much. Not anymore.
