True Story
Okay, I'm thinking long and hard about going the route of self-publishing for my picture book about my two cats. My agent took a pass on the manuscript because the marketplace is pretty much saturated. Even if I could get a publisher, I probably couldn't get anything out until 2010, and I don't want to wait that long. Time to explore options. I spoke to an illustrator who I really like about working on the book. She's keen to talk. I'm going to send her the manuscript next week and we'll start talking. I now need to do some research on self-publishing. The prospect scares me, but this might be the kind of challenge I need to recharge myself. It's a big risk, but I think I'm up for it.
