I know I've got about a two week wait to hear back from Knox Robinson Publishing, and that two weeks will be the most difficult part of the publishing process. Even if they do offer a contract, it doesn't mean I'll accept it. There is such a thing as a bad contract. (Fortunately for me both Melange and Penumbra did not have bad contracts.)
But I'm seeking a new contract now from a new publisher, and this is where the great Victoria Strauss comes in. She's like the guru of authors, the sage of writers, and the queen of anyone who needs advice when it comes to the publishing process. She does it out of the goodness of her heart, and imo, there's no one with a greater heart.
Yes, there are others at Absolute Write, and they all are great. But Victoria will be the one to help you about anything, when it comes to publishing contracts, agent contracts, and any advice when it comes to being a writer, or an author seeking publication.
She's tied in with Preditors and Editors, too. (That's not a typo, they spell 'preditors' like that.) She doesn't do it for money. She's just a great lady. And I've learned a lot from her when it comes to contracts. Still, I will have to make up my own mind. Her advice is just that. Advice. You can heed the advice or not. For me, when it comes to contracts there will be varying factors I'll have to weigh. And I will make my decision based on those factors.
First, however, I have to have a contract. So let's see how that goes.
