Can’t stop spinning for joy. Three publishers want my manuscript! What a long meandering road it has been to reach this point. After a series of seemingly endless rejections, I suddenly have three publishing contracts on the table and now feel overwhelmed and out of my depth. Thank goodness for the Australian Society of Authors. With the help of the ASA and Alex Adsett Publishing Services, I will be able to compare and review the fine print. For anyone else who may find themselves in this fortunate position, I have been advised to research the quality of the books each house is producing and to also enquire about their distribution abilities. But above all, I need to find the publisher I connect with – I can’t help feeling it is similar to choosing a midwife – someone I can trust to safely bring my precious baby into the big wide world.
