Submit Novel To Publisher Novels & Stories

"Yes, I am, but —" She held up a hand to stop me. "I may have a solution. After I read your manuscript, I sent it to an affiliate of ours based in England. They're a newer house, just started operations about four months ago. Bloodhound Press. You can look them up on LinkedIn if you wish. I'll send a separate email to their Editor-in-chief. She was actually very pleased to go through the initial outline I sent over. I'll see if she's still interested in the full manuscript, and if she is, she would get back to you directly."

Even the messiest progress was still alive. One evening, she received an email from a publisher. They’d heard she was writing again. Would she be interested in submitting something? No urgency. No pressure. Just interest. Serena stared at the screen. Then closed the laptop. Not out of fear, but out of choice. She wasn’t done becoming yet. That night, she dreamed of a house with many doors.Some locked. Some open. None urgent. She woke up peaceful.

Dear Reader, My editor and the people of GoodNovel haven't resonded to a single email or checked my edits in over 2 months now. They own Middle Land but they haven't been forthcoming about anything else. They refused to acknowledge my completed work that was up for competition: Talk Dirty to Me. They said this book would sign as exclusive and it's non-exclusive, so I don't get the benefits of being a writer from this story. I'm writing it because of my sheer love of reading and writing romance novels.

It smelled like cabbage and sausage and comfort. Josie sat at the kitchen table with her laptop. The novel was done. She'd finished it the night of the equinox, the night everything had changed. She'd sent it to three agents that week. Two had rejected it. The third had asked for a full manuscript. She was waiting. "You're refreshing your email," Dane said without turning from the stove. "I'm checking." "You checked four minutes ago." "Maybe something happened in four minutes." "Nothing happened in four minutes. Eat."
