So... I have some exciting news. I'm guessing you can tell what it is based on the photo...
I signed a contract with Black Rose Writing for my Middle Grade novel, KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON, CHILDREN!
It's a small independent publisher out of Texas. I did a lot of research before signing with them. I asked them lots of questions and I asked several of their authors questions. They don't charge any fees to publish your book or to design your cover. They do give you the opportunity to partner with them for additional advertising opportunities. I don't quite understand all of this information yet, but I'm sure they will help me understand the process and terms.
For me, the biggest factor was that my story will be a book later this year...September 5th! I'll be able to give my almost 99 year old grandfather, the inspiration for the book, a copy this year. In fact, according to my conversations with the publisher, the book will be available in the USA, Canada and England. So I'll be able to send him a copy through Amazon.UK. This makes me really really really happy!
Hoping that you are finding moments of happiness so far in 2019!
Hugs,
Sharon
