What a great pitch or tag. Question: Does Medallion give you any editorial help for final publication? Is there upfront money? I have a novel that I've pitched, has finaled and received strong reviews. I have been considering a small press for it.

I firmly believe that if the book is meant to see the light of day and touch others, it will and a way will be found to make it happen. Thanks for the reminder and the inspiration to stay true to your muse, despite market forces. I love to hear success stories like these, Anna.

I think there are always options, it's just about whether they're the right ones for you. And I'm still over the moon about the AAR review! I'm glad this came at the right time for you, Lorna! And good luck with deciding if that deal is right for you and your goals - congratulations on the offer! Thanks Barbara!

Definitely food for thought! Thank you. How timely, I’m considering a 3 book deal with an independent publisher who is also receiving rave reviews for their titles. Definitely food for thought!

It's good for writers--and readers--to know that there are options out there for books that break the mold. Excellent review from AAR, too! ;-) Barbara www.barbarawhitedaille.com Anna – great post.

I think, really, it boils down to this:- know what you want, be realistic, and NEVER sell yourself short. Thanks Edie!
