I received requests from all 5 of the editors I pitched to at the Spring Fling Writer’s Conference; 1 within agency referral, 3 partials and 1 full manuscript request. As long as I was in the submitting mode, I sent to 3 other houses that looked like they may be a fit for Black Creek, 1 of which has already responded with a request to view the full. I can’t thank my readers enough for your requests for print copies and for the requests for ebook availability. You overwhelm and humble me. I will post as soon as I know something.
For now, I plan to let Eagle’s Flight sit for next 2 to 3 months as I wait to hear about interest for Black Creek…which leaves me with working on book three! I could have worse problems.
I’ve received a handful of contract offers on Black Creek. What an exciting time! There are five other publishing companies who had previously requested a preview of the novel and have asked to be given until Tuesday to move my manuscript up in their queue and decide if they’d like to make an offer as well.
Thank you, everyone, for your support and interest as I journey through this process! I am lucky to have you.
And much thanks to Amanda and Monica for the thoughtful comment about Black Creek and Eagle’s Flight. You are very kind!
