C is for Curiosity Quills: A to Z Blogging Challenge

Curiosity Quills Press will publish Going Through the Change on April 23 (20 more days!).  Time will tell, but I've got a very good feeling about my relationship with CQ. Everyone I've been associated with has been warm and kind and professional, from the acquisitions editor who first accepted my work, to the artist who designed my cover, to the editor who polished my words till they shone, to the marketing folks who are helping sell the darn thing, to the other Literary Marauders (house authors). Curiosity Quills is an example of why the "small press" is taking the traditional publishing world by storm.

I first heard of CQ through an online acquaintance who had published his book with them (Matthew Graybosch, author of Without Bloodshed). I was curious enough to check them out online, and knew I had found a potentially good home for my work when I read the CQ Literary Manifesto:


So, to my writer friends out there, I recommend looking to the small press. To my reader friends out there, tired of "safe" books, I recommend looking to the small press--in particular, mine! Thanks for taking a risk on me, Curiosity Quills!___________________________________________________
This posting is part of the A to Z blogging challenge, in which bloggers undertake to post every day in April, excepting Sundays, which amounts to 26 postings, one for each letter of the alphabet--preferably along a theme. My postings will all be about my debut novel and my experiences writing it and seeing it published.

Blogging A to Z is a great opportunity to connect with some excellent bloggers and interesting people. I encourage you to check out other participating blogs, too!
