I'm afraid I have, Popgun62. I'm going to try the self-publishing route. I'm certain there is a market for adult horror that stars inner-city children, but I've become convinced it's small enough that I won't find a publisher that is interested in pursuing it.

Try DarkFuse. They published my last two books and pay pretty decent royalties. They do limited edition hardcover, paperback and eBooks and will get your books reviewed by top reviewers. No agent required. I did pretty well with them.

Dark fuse

Dark fuse says they do not take simultaneous submissions to other publishers,
by the way...

Waiting is always the hardest.LOL

Actually I may have a stroke before finding out about my submission, Popgun and D.A. Watson. LOL

Take a deep breath and just try to work on something else while you're waiting - that's what I do!

re

Yep. I always assume rejection, then if not, it's a bonus!

I didn't think I would ever forgive myself if I didn't at least try this publisher. My material fits, it's just that I was soooo reluctant to fill out that intense form. Now, it's done and on its way. Whew...what a monster.

Good luck, Tri!

I was excited to get an offer from Permuted Press today! Will be speaking to them soon.

Woohoo! Time to pop the cork!

Nice little home run, haunted. I'm liking them better and better.

tri

Thanks!

Thanks Tri! I am pretty happy about it. Here's to the future for us all!

I'm a newbie to (posting on) AW, but I've been following this thread with interest. Congrats to everyone who has been accepted by Permuted! Looks like I'll be joining you guys as well!

Awesome - congrats Peggy Sue, and welcome aboard!

thanks so much, PopGun!

Permuted is a great niche press, really top of the line. They have great covers.

That being said, I have an offer from them too.

Does it worry you guys that all of a sudden so many authors are being picked up?

Just curious, there may be a perfectly logical explanation for it.

My agent hasn't raised any red flags about it. According to CEO Mike Wilson, who I talked to on the phone, they're trying to expand into different kinds of horror and science fiction, so they're bringing as many authors on board as they can. A published author friend of mine thinks they're probably just trying to "throw something against the wall to see what sticks." So far, they've treated me pretty well and my agent seems happy with them.

Yeah, you're probably right Popgun, they have been so successful for a number of years keeping it small and now they are probably able to expand the operation because of the success. It's probably a good thing. Like you said, start to worry when your agent puts up the red flags. I guess i need to get used to having someone worry for me.

Followed you on Twitter/Facebook Who's your agent? I forgot.

I've been worrying over whether or not I should try to find an agent before the contract comes in. ugh. I don't want to make any mistakes.

I tried to get one when I got the offer, but no one was interested until I actually had the contract in hand. I'm super glad I did get an agent - she has been invaluable and will be even more so down the road.

I got an an offer from Permuted Press too. How long did it take for them to send you a contract, Popgun and Wormwood? I got an email with the initial terms on Monday. I sent back an email asking a few questions, but I've had some email issues so I resent it today. Hopefully, they'll understand and won't think I'm being a pest.

Hey Clarissa,

They won't think you're a pest. It took a few weeks to get the contract, if I remember right. You might want to consider trying to get an agent. It makes life a lot easier, IMO.

Okedoke. I'll not worry about it, then. Thanks

Congrats you guys! Holy cripes, there's a buying spree for good books going on. I think I'm on the tail end of it--won't know for awhile.
