| Re: Promoting Published Work - Help! Hmm ... no, they're definitely not vanity presses. Don't some publisers ask for some kind of "marketing plan" to be included in your proposal, along with the first three chapters, outline, synopsis, etc.? Silver Leaf is a small press, to be sure, but they're not the only one I've found to ask for this.
Right now I'm waiting for an agent to read the first three chapters of my novel, so I've got my fingers crossed on that...
Oh, and thanks for all the info, everyone! There's still some useful stuff here. And you're right about Mark, Mary. Hard to believe how many books he sold through self-publishing. |
