Publishers! Agents! Novels! Updates!

Princess Minny asked me to post her exciting news. One of the publishers who read The Perfect Princess is interested in publishing it. I'm not sure if we're gonna go for this one or not. We have a lot of manuscripts floating around out there.

Pages Of Wonder is a unique type of publisher. I was actually able to email a submission and query letter. They have what is called an 'author co-op'. New, unpublished authors with promising manuscripts are offered a publishing contract and asked to help pay for part of the publishing costs. This is different from self-publishing in that Pages Of Wonder actually helps with the marketing of your book once it's out there.

Check out their website and tell me what you think!

The other bit of news is that I came across a list of agents looking for new authors. I wanted to get that info out to all my fellow writers. Here is the link to "28 Agents Who Want Your Work": http://www.writersdigest.com/article/28-agents-who-want-your-work

Finally, today was the first day of school for my daughter. That means it was my first full day to be at home...just writing. I finished a big chunk of research for "Deep In The Heart". Made notes for miscellaneous and closing scenes. It's starting to come together.

Tomorrow....more research.

Good Night! I'm off to bid on more writing jobs. Good luck to all my writer friends!

Hi Lisa! I stumbled upon your blog by accident and as struggling (sometimes even discouraged!) writer…I have found comfort and encouragement in your blog.

Thank you for sharing! I’m sure that you’ll hear from me a lot more when I need reminding that maybe…just maybe, my words too will see the light of day!

Just stumbled across your blog. It's great to find other mom's forging ahead with writing. I've drafted a couple of children's books too, so thanks for the publisher tip.

Good luck!
