a contract, of sorts
This post is a little old, but I figured I'd post it here anyway.
I got a contract for publication on my first book, Runaway Swimmer. Why did that last sentence not have an exclamation point at the end, you might ask?
Check this place out:http://www.thereadersretreat.com/
They're an ebook publisher and completely legit. They pay 45% royalties and all that good stuff. But, they don't have a Google ranking to speak of, don't appear to be hooked up with Amazon, B&N, etc., and don't seem to have any good stats on sales and other marketing plans.
So, while it is encouraging to have a contract, I think I'll probably turn the tables and reject them.This feels weird, but I also have to consider that I have two different agents reviewing two different books right now and a print publisher is reviewing Runaway Swimmer.
So, there's still hope. There's always hope.

That does sound a bit weird, and something I'm sure you never imagined would happen--having to reject a contract, that is.
You are very close to getting an agent for your book, so stay focus on that route. I think you made the right decision.
I wish the best!
Hey, how's the article business going? Have you written anymore?
It's good to be back online with the rest of the geeky writers out there---no offense!!!
Thanks, Yudelka! I'm so glad to see you back. I was beginning to worry that you'd left us.
The articles have slowed a bit since I've been very busy at work and I'll be teaching a college class soon and I'll be delivering the homecoming sermons at a congregation in my hometown. I'm busy!
I'll probably be back into writing articles, books, etc. sometime in November. Until then, it's survival time!
Survival time! So this is what you call it! I'm glad that's what it is. I began to think it was the opposite. A time where my writing was dying, and things had gone back to the old days--before my writing life began.
This is good news. I'm encouraged! Thanks!!!
You're welsome, Yudelka. It's easy to think you'll never get back to it after a hiatus, but you ALWAYS can!
