Novel Publisher Novels & Stories

I want to say No but I don't want to disappoint my son so I lie, "Maybe..." Just then, my phone rings. I quickly pick it up. "Hallo, Ms. Clarke. My name is Janet, an editor and publisher on Jinx Publishers and I came across one of your wonderful books. I would like to offer you a contract on your book "Sweet Stranger, if that is okay with you." Jinx publishers are the best in the country with, with amazing contract deals! They have published millions of best-selling novels to date. This is not happening to me!

“You got a contract with us, and the full contract was scheduled for signing last Thursday. The board’s been waiting to confirm your novel for the fall lineup.” I sat up too quickly, my head spinning. “I…I don’t understand. What novel?” BrightLeaf Publishing is one of the biggest publishing companies in New York. I have always dreamed of working with them, but right now I don't remember submitting any manuscript. A pause. “Your manuscript. You submitted it under Charlotte Kingston. Are you alright, Mrs. Kingston?” My throat went dry. “Yes, I… I’m fine. I was just going to come in today. Two o’clock.”

Anonymous D. My name is Neil Swan, and I am the Senior Editor of MTH Publishing Corporation. I’m pleased to announce to you that the novel you submitted, “Drowned in the Sea of Flames,” has been given an exclusive contract. You can sign the contract I’ve included in this message. Thank you very much. Best regards, Neil Swan

I want to ask, but I don’t think that’s something you just ask because I don’t want to sound like the crazy one here. “I ended up signing my book Duke of The Night with the indie publisher Phantomedia under the name Dawn Phoenix. It was a coincidence that my editor was Byron Grey.” She explained. “I thought you said you met him online. If he’s your smut publisher, how is that online?” I questioned. “It’s not smut. It’s paranormal historical fiction romance.” Shannon scoffed indignantly at my choice of words. “Is more than fifteen percent of the book sex?” I arched my brow. She didn’t have to answer. She turned bright pink, which said it all.

“The novel I mentioned when Camilla was here.” “Ah, okay.” Calvin chuckled. Destinee’s confusion had not cleared, but her worried expression made him take another deep breath. He couldn’t lose his temper with his assistant. “A dragon’s kiss, that’s the title,” he said. “Oh. That.” She exhaled a breath of relief, and they both laughed. “There’s only so much I can do, sir. I would suggest a publisher.” “A publisher?” “Yes. They can handle all the sales.” Calvin dragged two fingers across his temple and released a breath. He knew a publisher. In fact, he was working with one. Why didn’t that occur to him since?
