Happier News

Despite how sad I’ve been because of everything with Nana, I also have good news.  I’m not sure of the exact dates, though I can look them up, I decided to try resubmitting Our Strange Duet to that same publishing company who rejected it at the beginning of the year.  I’ve done a lot of changing and revising on the story, making it better told and more mystery oriented, so I figured what did I have to lose?

Well, I was answered within twenty four hours once again () and the guy said they would look at t again, and submission guidelines remain the same.  So I sent it off about forty-eight hours later, and I got a response to that.  He said he was sending it onto their readers for comments.

As far as I know, here’s how it works for their publishing process:  The firsdt guy who accepts/rejects things writes back and lets you know whether or not to send the thirty pages and synopsis.  Then he reads it, lets the author know what should be fixed, if anything, and sends it on to two readers.  If they like it, they ask for the entire novel.  The entire novel goes to four readers, and if they like it, it goes to the head editor for the final okay to be published.

So, it’s very possible that because he already knew me and my story, and I said I’d revamped it, that he sent it on to the two readers without having to look it over himself!  So I may have made it over one hurdle already!

It’ll take about two months for them to get back to me with anything.  I hope they want the rest of the novel.  I’m gonna try to make this as good as possible.  I wanna be published, dangit!!

Okay, I gotta go, cuz work is soon, and I still need a shower.

Bye!      <–As thoughts of writer-ship sail through my head.
