Quick Updates: Two New Titles in First Print Run – Florida Writers Conference Submissions
First, because the emails are becoming more regular, and there’s been a phone call or two, here’s the official schedule for those writers that submitted via the Florida Writers Conference in late October: Expect a response the first week of January.
I know I hear groaning with that announcement, but allow me to, hopefully, beat back some of that groaning with an announcement that we are working on a restructuring of how we bring new authors on board. If this restructuring is feasible, I hope to be able to double the amount of new works we put out next year from our normal 3 – 5 books a year to a more ambitious 8 – 10. As much restructuring as we can do here, ultimately the deciding factor will be the quality of the works we choose to carry, and how close to publishable they are now (vs. months of editing).
The short story, at this time, is bear with me. I hope to be contacting more than one or two of you with good news.
If it seems as though I’ve been MIA, it is because I’ve been busy reviewing the proofs I received on Friday of our two newest titles, both of which came out spectacularly well, and then crunching numbes on that first print run for each, both of which will be going to press this week.
IF I don’t manage to poke my head back in before the holiday, EVERYONE have a good and safe Thanksgiving! And for you writers waiting on the yea or nay, relax in the interim between now and the new year, knowing that I’m working to bring as many on board as I can. Yes. Some of the works, many of the works, are that good.
