Spread the word – I’m a publisher with three titles to my
list! You hope, but you can’t always quite believe, that you’ll manage it while
in the middle of negotiations with everybody and doing all the
project-management from typesetting to cover image sourcing. I’ve been lucky to
work with some very talented artists and designers and brought out three
distinctly different novels. It did cross my mind to publish a very plain
wrapper and use lettering instead of artwork, but preferred to develop different covers
for each novel and reflect their own characters.
It’s been a week or so without
much time for reflection as I’ve concentrated on packing and posting a massive
advance and new order list for The Two Linties. If you’re not familiar with
Lintie, may I recommend someone who finds that interesting things happen in
kitchens, even if you’re not a natural cook?
