Congratulatoins, Cherylking. So proud of and happy for you.
May I ask, how has it been working with City Limits? And did you have your MS with agents at the time? How did you handle this situation?
I've got my MS with about 15 agents now and two small publishers. I'm not sure whether I will receive an offer for publication from the two publishers, but I wonder what is the protocol with the agents if on the off-chance I do.
Sincerely,
RCL
Hi, and sorry for the delay in responding! I haven't been on QT in a while. It's been a stressful process, but I am thrilled with my cover, and my book releases tomorrow!
To answer your questions, when I got the offer from CLP, I had some outstanding queries with agents and other small publishers, so I contacted them all to let them know about the offer. One publisher responded with an offer, and two agents responded that they wanted to see my manuscript and arrange a call. One of the agents was embroiled in some controversy at the time, and after speaking with her, I didn't feel we would be a good match. The other agent seemed to want to sell me her contract-review service, so I decided I don't need an agent, and I simply chose between the two publishers.
Now I've finally made it through to the other side!
