The guidelines said it. We’re looking for nursery rhymes, poetry, and stories that can be read and enjoyed by children of all ages. There is no lower word limit on poems or nursery rhymes. Mine, however, would be a story, “Snow,” a 2000-word riff (more or less) on “Snow White and the [image error]Seven Dwarves.” An evil queen, a stepdaughter in training, height-challenged jewel miners. The book in question, to be published by B Cubed Press: ALTERNATIVE BEDTIME READING FOR PROGRESSIVE PARENTS.
So today, Saturday, I received the word from Editor Bob Brown, short and sweet: We would like to buy Snow. Please advise if you accept. Then a second email gave instructions for things to come, among other details. A need for a bio, pre-publicity, edits to be reviewed, etc.(some, like the bio, to be handled now), more on which will be reported here as it happens. And, all in all, a nice continuation of the Thanksgiving weekend to wrap up November.
