I sent off the emails to the rest of the publishers who were considering my manuscript. All of them accepted the news with grace and wished me well. It just reminded me of how respectful people in publishing are. They congratulated me and expressed genuine good will toward me and my accomplishment of finding a publisher.
As I've found to be true in the teaching world, the publishing world is a wonderful bunch, and everyone involved has nothing but a willingness to be helpful to others who make their best effort in the business.
Of course I'm looking at it as a writer on the verge of publication. I will admit there was a spell early on when I felt less than encouraged. But that wasn't because of anyone cheating me. It was only a period of learning the ropes. That's true of any profession. You begin at the bottom and work your way up.
That's all.
