Last week I did something that I thought would never happen: I signed a book contract with a publisher!
I never thought it would happen because the publishing industry is changing rapidly, and no-name authors like me usually have to go the self-publishing route. Throughout this book journey it seemed unlikely I’d find a traditional publisher.
But then a contact in the publishing industry suggested Deep River Books in Oregon. I emailed Bill Carmichael, their principal, and for the last couple of months we’ve had some great conversations.
The most important thing to me was control over the final product.
