Progress and such
Well, the first draft of the novel is almost done, and I have a decision to make on publishing. Either I can use a publishing house, Whitmore Publishing, which will read it and either accept it or decline it, or I can go with Lulu and self publish. It seems to be a much better deal than the one at CafePress, and will let me edit my manuscript after the pdf conversion.
Any input? Any insight? Any suggestions? I sure could use the feedback.
The thought of an editor is great, it would check for alot of possible errors, but money is always the thing.
I say submit it and see if anyone bites, if not, then self publish.
SlagleRock Out!

Posted by: Indigo at February 6, 2005 02:46 PMI agree with SR too; give the publishers a crack at it, and if it doesn't happen, DIY.
Maybe you could email some of the other published bloggers (Bill Whittle, The Zero Boss, etc.) to get their views on the process?
And finally, thanks for the input on the Rott IB. You are a treasure!
