Heard back from the publisher and...

[Independent Gal]

So, today I heard back from the publishers. I had sent my book manuscript in many months ago, and I kept praying I wouldn''t hear back (with the inevitable revisions) until after wedding stress had settled down. Talk about perfect timing! The old thread is here:

https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/separation-anxiety.67848/

Aaaaand ... it''s a go! There is certainly some work to do on revisions, but overall the reviews were glowing. They used words like "innovative," "excellent" and "groundbreaking". So, pending board approval (which it is basically impossible the editor won''t get, given those reviews), I''ve made my contribution to human knowledge and can now retire. teehee. as if.

Seriously though. This is a good international press, so most libraries will pick up a copy. I might even make a little money from it!

Coincidentally, just after receiving the e-mail from the publisher, I went to pick up my mail and there was a parcel from amazon containing my best friend / MOH''s new novel. I didn''t read the most recent version before it went to press, so I''m excited to read it now. And the author photo is so pretty. I love my bff! And I''m so proud of her.

Wow! Congrats IG!

So you''re a writer-I didn''t know that either. That does help explain why your posts are always so put together!

I think you deserve one of these!

 

[Independent Gal]

Writer is my side job.

Hey, good idea with the bubbly! we actually have a bottle in the fridge that someone gave us for a wedding present. Hmmm...

I guess it won't go with the chili I planned to cook for dinner though.

Thanks for the good wishes everyone!

Congradulations...

Makes me want to pick up on my partially finished book (perhaps 1/5) and the short story I''ve got mostly completed.

I''ve been working too many hours - and just wish I could get away for a couple weeks in a single relaxing place to work on the short story - and a better outline for the book.

Let us know when it comes out - and I''ll buy a copy.

Wow-congratulations, Indy!

Too bad you''re a secret squirrel...I''d be interested to read a book by you! (I completely understand staying anonymous, of course-I''d do the same thing!)

Congratulations!

 

[door knob solitaire]

You never cease to amaze...incredible! Congratulations! Your world is really coming together for you. No one deserves it more!! kiss kiss.

I know you can''t hock it...and I know you can''t tell us too much...but can''t you tell us what genre it is?

Groundbreaking could mean it is a really heavy manuscript...or that it covers the subject of jack hammers...or it could be about gophers and how to eradicate the little pests.

Vague...nothing too specific...BUT THROW US A BONE. Please???

[Sabine]

Congratulations!!!! And I''m with DKS...a few hints here and there about what it''s about, and it could lead to a book hunt that gets all of us reading things we never would have thought to pick up, even if we never find out if it''s really by you or not!
