Well, it’s finally happening. I’ve given up on agents who don’t respond, and am submitting my first novel to a local self-publishing company here in southern New England.
One of their editors will read my story and provide a quote for editing, formatting, ISBN, uploading to the internet and Kindle, etc, etc., etc.
No idea how long this process will take. I’m excited to find out how the cover art is created. I know how I want my story visually depicted, but don’t know if my idea can be translated.
So I’m off!
