So... I got my last rejection letter. I literally am out of publishers.
They all have said it was a case of the subject matter nto being right for
them, not a matter of quality. So.
I am going with a publish on demand service and making my book available on
amazon .com and a couple other places... and attempting to get some major
book sellers to buy some copies.
I am asking a couple favors of you guys.
1) word of mouth it? spread the word... I cannot make physical copies
available to everyone since I am funding this myself... but I can make a
pdf available...
2) I need help with possible illustrations (or photographs)
3) I need a cover... While I am publishing, this myself... it seems
arrogant to me to featur my own work as the cover, etc. ____________________ The earth turns on a tilted axis - just doing the best it can.

book. ____________________ http://www.chill-fu.net |

without webspace. ____________________

oh oh, I got a sugestion; you may not like it, but could you not make your
name stand out more than the title of your book. I fricken hate seeing the
author's name in big bold print squishing out the title of thier work...
Well that is my two cents anyways. ____________________ co-worker: "Your gay!?"
