And then have it accepted in a couple months with an offer of a contract. Or...you could send it off sooner. <br /><br />I waited until the house hunk dared me... wish I'd sent it in sooner!anny cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769733659120481918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-88018140879597507672011-04-05T17:34:10.679-04:002011-04-05T17:34:10.679-04:00Sandy,

One other thing I would suggest is checking their distribution system. <br /><br />You don't want a publisher who just sets your book on their website to sell. For instance, my publisher puts our books on their website, Amazon, B&N, All Romance Ebooks, Smashwords just to name a few.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843816981385732033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-44074074638772845642011-04-05T12:34:18.539-04:002011-04-05T12:34:18.539-04:00Wish I'd had this advice before I submitted.

Editors and Preditors now has a big red flag on them, so checking there is very important.
