ü Contract
-
1 January 2014 -
My
publisher contracted with BroadStreet publishing to produce and publish
Aegypt
a 3 in 1 novel with
Sister of Light
and
Sister of
Darkness.
The novels will be published under the Elutheria brand by BroadStreet.
They will also be published individually by
OakTara.
In electronic and paperback copy.
ü
Proposal with novel information and synopsis sent to publisher
This novel was odd because the publisher requested a sequel and
therefore knew it was coming. Generally, the publisher wants
information and a synopsis in their format prior to receiving the
manuscript.

üCover - will move to the author page when I have an
initial cover, this section and info will also move to the secrets page with
a cover.
ü Request from publisher for cover
ideas - when I finish a novel, I develop a title (if I haven't
already), produce the marketing information and synopsis (usually a 500 and
250 word synopsis), and work on a cover concept. I have one in mind
for this novel, but it is a take off on the original cover for Aegypt.

- None for Sister of Light or Sister of Darkness, but
the publisher developed a cover for Ancient Light by at least 1 June.
