Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Congratulations!!! How exciting Have you checked other authors' websites!? I think that would be the safest way to figure out what is standard!. I don't even know you and am so excited for you!. Bet you can't stop smiling!. :-) Www@QuestionHome@Com http://answers!.yahoo!.com/question/index;!.!.!. In less than 24 hours, it seems you've gone from not knowing if manuscript formatting mattered, to having your work accepted!. That's either the fastest query-to-manuscript-to-acceptance I've heard of, or you have chosen the self-publishing route!. Not that I want to rain on your parade, but how much research did you do on the publishing industry before you made your decision!? Is this a vanity printer or a scam!? did you check out this publisher with websites like writer beware or preditors & editors!? If you are expecting to see your book on the shelves at libraries and book stores, and you've fallen for a scam, you will be disappointed!. This happens often to new writers who are unfamiliar with the industry, and the scams tagret them because of it!. For many, the thrill of seeing their dream come true turns into very bitter disappointment when they realize they've been scammed!. If you aren't certain if you've been scammed, and have time to reconsider your contract, check them out before you pay them!. If you know who you are dealing with and are happy with the arrangement, we are happy for you!. If you really have been accepted in less than two days with a reputable publisher (they pay you, you do not pay them), we're thrilled for you!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Most author's make a page where the readers can read the first chapter or at least the prologue!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Put a part like "books to come" and give like a little sneak peek kinda thing to it!. Hope this helped =)Www@QuestionHome@Com |
