Thus the problem. That requirement is the only reason I can see for having one, but I could be wrong and that's why I wrote the post. I really am just trying to figure this all out.
Crazy isn't it? As for the agent thing I know they only promote you to publishers, I am just beginining to question why I would give up a part of the income I coul make for little more than an introduction.
Hi Aidana- I confess to being more of a lurker than an active member of this crew. Spend more time working on writing projects than on writing webnets, don't you know?
Aidana - I hear you too - She Writes is a great place to hang out...and I don't. I'm spreading myself too thin, spending a lot of time on my personal blogs.
Author interviews take time...and I want to get them perfect *smile*. Promotion is tough to come by, and I love playing a part in it.
You may not know me or my work, but I am the national bestselling, award winning novelist of six critically acclaimed novels who has been twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction.
On Jan 9th, 2010 my debut novel, SUGAR will celebrate its 10th anniversary and in order to commemorate this milestone I am campaigning to sell 10,000 copies between now and that date.
“Bernice L. McFadden's first novel begins with the brief, poetic description of a crime so startling that the reader is helplessly drawn in, as if a bright red door stood ajar on a bleak and forbidding house. Pearl Taylor's daughter, Jude, has been found murdered and mutilated near a field at the edge of town. "The murder had white man written all over it," writes McFadden. "But no one would say it above a whisper. It was 1940. It was Bigelow, Arkansas. It was a black child. Need any more be said?" In the years that follow, Pearl catches sight of Jude in so many strangers that when Sugar Lacey comes to town and sets up her unwholesome "business" in the house next door, she doesn't know whether to believe what she sees in Sugar's face: a striking similarity to Jude, dead 15 years. In her sedate but supple prose--rising at times to a light, unforced lyricism in the description of landscape or character--the author perfectly renders the closed and protective society of a small Southern town, the superstitions, gossip, and prying.”
I’m asking that you purchase a copy of SUGAR for yourself, a friend or family member. And yes, KINDLE purchases count.
If you could help spread the word by blogging, twittering ad Face-booking my campaign, it would mean the world to me.
"Mary .... Yes, good point re putting in next printing!! :)
With the shift in distribution, has there been talks about change in costs ?
Good Judith! Go for it. :)"
