I got an offer from Permuted Publishing! A three book deal for Under a Broken Sun, which is pretty exciting!
So why am I not bouncing off the walls?
Because I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING!
Is it a good offer? A bad offer? What do I look for when signing my rights away?
The challenge of being a self-published author.
I'm searching for agents, but if you go to an agent with a publisher in hand, they're less likely to work with you, especially if it's a smaller niche publisher like Permuted (they are strictly post-apocalytpic). Plus an agent knows the big boys - Simon & Schuster, etc, which means bigger advances.
In other words, I don't want to jump at the first person expressing interest.
BUT, do I risk turning them down just to have them disappear? And then maybe never get another offer again?
WHAT TO DO!?!?
Leave advice via the comments. It's free, and will be taken as such. :)
Oh well. Book 2 calls. WRITE ON!
A place for all future authors to follow the publishing process, and for those days when I have something to say, a place for me to say it!
Optimism is NOT Arrogance
Arrogance is the belief that you are BETTER than others. Optimism is the belief that you have the same CHANCE as others. We all have the chance to achieve our dreams. Don't ever let anyone tell you differently.
