Just got word BookStrand wants to publish my shapeshifter romantic comedy next year. This is my first novel sale ever and I'm still kind of in shock. What a terrific early Christmas present!

Congrats!

First sale! Woot!! Congratulations, Pterofan! I hope the shock wears off quickly so you can move on to this-- :e2cloud9:

I'm almost embarrassed to mention that I sold another one! I have two novels and a non-fiction book coming out in January and just sold a novella to Cobblestone Press. Talk about feast for famine.

Wow. Three releases in January, and a new sale. That's an incredible accomplishment. Congrats, Carlene! You should be proud! :hooray:

Thank you, everybody! I've sold stories and novellas before, including two novellas to BookStrand, but this is my first book-length sale.

The email mentioned an e-pub date of May 2010.

And Carlene, you're making the rest of us look bad. Back to the keyboards, all of us!

I'm not trying to make anyone look bad - I'm trying to encourage you all! I wrote a lot a books before I published one. I kept writing, perfecting and going on to the next one while submitting to everyone. I finally hit - all at once. All I'm saying is if I can do it -anyone can! Just never, never give up.

Absolutely, Carlene! Every sale is encouragement to others.

And for all of you recent sales: Remember to post up the synopsis that sold the book in our Synopsis thread (once the book is out and you're allowed to, of course). Every success is a way to let others learn what sells to specific publishers! :D

Cathy, selling on SYNOPSIS? Cannot post because I don't remember ever selling this way <snicker>. I don't write snops until my agent jumps up & down on me in her combat boots and insists.

I'm snop-challenged, anyone who knows me writing-wise will affirm this.

Now if you want the one-liner I sometimes pitch on, that's another story.

:Sun:

I hope I can say the same soon. I just had a publishing company request a revision to the chapter I submitted and then requested a revision to newly requested chapters. I just submitted that today, so hopefully I'll hear back soon. I was surprised to hear back as quick as I did when they sent my query on to the Submission Editor, which only took 2days. Then the Submission Editor got back with me in 3 days, she said she wanted to look at the revised chapters before she made a decision. I'm hoping and praying! I'll find out from here on out! In the meantime, I'm working on my sequel. Congrats to you all!

I signed a contract with The Wild Rose Press just before Christmas for my contemporary romance The Brat and received the cover art for it this morning. I've sold four short stories this year, but this is my first novel sale, and I'm over the moon! I'm struggling to get my feet back on the ground :) This is the best end of year celebration ever!

I didn't sell but I did get a guest column spot on our local newspaper which was very exciting.
