BYU had its annual Publisher’s Fair yesterday and I had some success there that I’m not going to leave you out of. I’ve copied my update that I made on Facebook yesterday below (then you’ll know why this post is not more substantial and why I don’t really have much time right now).
“Oh freak! I just made an accidentally successful pitch to Shadow Mountain (owned by Deseret Book and the publishers of books such as Fablehaven). Publishers are practiced in the art of not getting your hopes up, so when you see one’s eyes gleaming from your story (and they heap on the praise), you know things are good. And when they like your writing style and ask for the rest of your manuscript? Well, don’t expect to see me anytime soon – I’ll be in a corner rocking back and forth in the fetal position until I remember to finish my accidentally-last rewrite.”
Here’s to hoping things work out well!
