I looked on Julie Czerneda’s website and saw that she is out of town for a week, so I emailed the other editor Rob St. Martin. He was glad I did because he’s the one in charge of contracts and had incorrect contact info for me. He told me what he needs and said that he likes my story. So now I’ve had my affirmation that my story is really sold AND I’ve identified the cause of the missing emails as an incorrect address. Yay for no evil email eating gremlins! Yay for story sale! Yay! Yay! Yay!
Ahem.
I should go to bed now.
… and I just love your happy icon.
:: eagerly waits for picture book and hopes that if a big publisher takes it, they’ll have the courtesy to get it published *fast* ::
Unfortunately I think that “fast” to a traditional publisher means 12-18 months. That might be speeded up by the fact that the pictures are already done. But the fact that the pictures are already done might mean that the book never makes it past the front door of a traditional publisher.
