Being approached by a Publisher

What a feeling! I can't believe I'm sitting down and not jumping up and down and squealing right now! I'm sadly rather cynical though, and keep expecting it to be too good to be true. And still, the excitement is just under the surface, bubbling away and trying to break free. I was approached by a publisher today! Hardly believed it and re-read the offer a couple times before I responded. Terrified to Google the publisher and find out maybe they're not legit, but decided I'll only do that if anything comes of this. That way I don't shoot myself in the foot and procrastinate AGAIN on getting that synopsis done. That's the only thing standing between me and getting the proposal in to them. Then there's another publishing house that I've got to get my proposal done for too.

And I'm excited! Who honestly gets approached by a traditional publishing house? I am still feeling slightly unreal. The best part is, I was beginning to think I should just pack it in. I mean, my stories are okay, but clearly none of the agents I sent them to thought they were more than that.

Well, we'll see how this pans out, but again, very excited!

Until next time,

Amy
