Things are getting very exciting!
My publisher sent out ARCs a few weeks ago and the first review has appeared over at SFFWORLD.
I've had amazing support from Waterstones and the official launch is on May 26th. They've given me their first floor, provided canapes and wine and given me a whole window display, poster and hanging-banner sites in-store; and are doing a promotion for my limited edition, signed and numbered version of the book and THEY take the hit on margin!
I'm with a small press but they do offset print-runs (2000 initial), they get the book listed in every bookstore in the UK and the US, they are prepared to provide the discounts the Waterstones and Amazons expect and they will accept returns.
When I met with the store manager, he sat straight down at his computer and logged-on to Waterstones database and there I was!
Happy days.
At the moment, I am very happy to be signed to a small, enthusiastic publisher who wants the book to do well and are prepared to invest in its success.
