Publishing Novels & Stories

The publish button was waiting in the content management system Daniel had given me access to so I could watch it happen in real time. Adrian came out of the study room. He sat down across from me “Are you ready?” he asked. I looked at the screen. I looked at three years of work assembled finally into its complete and irrefutable form. “Yes,” I said. I clicked the final approval. The confirmation showed on the screen. It was simple and normal. It was the small official message that a very big thing was now starting. The story was set to publish at 12:00 AM. I closed the laptop.

I don't even joined a contest about writing and essay. "Bakit hindi ka mag-pass ng manuscript sa publishing house?" She asked out of nowhere. First, wala akong tiwala sa sarili ko. Second, hindi ko alam kung may bibili ba. Nakakahiya naman kasi na mag-pu-published ako tapos wala naman palang bibili.

Carrie spoke with so much enthusiasm, she has been trying her best to cheer me up over these past seven weeks. I began writing a year ago, it’s always been my true passion although I never shared this with anyone other than Carrie, she was the only one who knew about my writing and the one who sent my novel out for publishing without my knowledge so I guess I have her to thank for my publishing offer. This morning I received an email from a publishing company who agreed to publish my novel. I have to go to London this weekend for a meeting with the publisher, I’m not sure how everything happens bu

Calm and measured, the specific tone he uses when facts have become more important to him than feelings. "I am not publishing anything yet," he said. "I need confirmation first." A woman's voice answered him, lower and less steady. "You should not delay. If you are going to publish, do it before they close the inquiry." My hand tightened around the edge of the table. The coffee in front of me had gone cold and untouched. I did not turn immediately. I let the words settle into me and let my body understand what my mind was still resisting. Publish. Confirmation. Inquiry.

She sounded proud of herself. She clicked open the first email. It was from HearthStone Publishing, one of the top three traditional publishing houses in the country. I read the first paragraph and felt my pulse spike. They wanted to offer me a three-book deal. The next email was from River&Reed Books. Another top house. Their advance figure made me blink twice. Then Elmline, Tuned Pages, Balmer Press, and four others. Leah was grinning like she had just won a national lottery on my behalf. “They’re fighting for you, Aria. This is insane.”

THE THIRD BOOK SUBMITTED ELENA'S POV The manuscript goes to the publisher on a Friday in October. Not the same publisher as the first book — the third book is academic press, the correct destination for a work that argues a moral position through evidence and requires the peer review process to establish the argument's credibility before the book enters the world. Professor Marsh recommended the press. The editor who responded to the initial submission inquiry wrote back within a week with the specific enthusiasm of someone who had read the first two books and understood what the third one was trying to do.
