Ms. Hearth, it was a great pleasure to read you book on the Delany sisters. Not everyone can take the words of another and add such life that one can see through your eye the people. May you continue to be blessed with the gift of writing so that those like me can see and hear you in each word.

Amy: you nailed this one. I sent the link to my editor and thanked her for being so kind to me when I was a debut author. ;)

Thank you, Ann. There's so much being said and written about publishing and a lot of it seems to me to be skewed in some way. I try to write blog posts that provide inside information that may be useful or helpful.

Amy, This post made me realize how lucky I am to be working with Pixel Hall Press, the publisher who is bringing out my fiction collection (in print and e-format!), and who has already published two of my short stories in e-book format.
They have made this a truly collaborative experience, and have made me feel like a valued part of the team instead of just the "author."
You're also right about getting as much information you can from other sources. This is a business, and authors need to become as educated as possible about all the facets.
Thanks for a great post!

Thank you, Nancy! How nice to hear that you're thrilled with your publisher. Makes all the difference. I have a wonderful relationship with my current publisher, Atria Books imprint of Simon & Schuster. I do feel as if I am part of the team there, so I know exactly how you feel.

Bravo! Why do men always assume that women are incapable of doing anything except work related to domestic issues. I'll bet he read the NY Times religiously from then on while he waited for the shoe to drop.

(Big smile:-) As a 20 year as a flight attendant and an aspiring author I can clearly imagine this conversation!! full confession: this type of passenger usually speaks to me from behind a newspaper - I was glad that Amy could "bluster bust" him! It is classic behavior that folks who transcend boundaries get angry at those who call them on it:-) (still smiling - big!)

Debi, as a flight attendant I'm sure you've seen it all. :-)
