I Have Prevailed!
Over what? You might well ask. My first go round of edits! What you thought we writerly types just wrote those wonderful stories and the publishers sent them to print or digitized them? Hardly!
After we painstakingly go over each word and point of punctuation and the publisher of our choice says, "Hey, we want to publish your book!" We must make it even closer to perfection. The publisher assigns editor/s to go over each sentence to find typos, plot holes, mis-punctuation and so forth. Each house has their own guidelines to adhere to.
Personally, I had a horrible case of, "Oh My God!" with a few editorial comments. But you know what? I have a great publisher. One that not only cares about the business end of publishing but the human side of it as well. She, poor dear, understands the artistic temperament. A simple explanation, and I was good to go.
I got my edits on Friday afternoon. On Sunday afternoon they were back in the hands of Siren Bookstrand Publishing. Not bad for a newbie.
(Thanks Diana)
So, look for Dare to Dream in July as a Siren Classic!
(Apparently, I'm a little too hot for mainstream. LOL)
I can't wait to see my cover!
Siren Bookstrand Publishing Coming Soon!
