Acceptance.
Here is the novel itself:
Manuscript.
The manuscript has been modified from the submission copy in the following ways: A) the "author" name has been removed, and B) it is saved in .rtf format (rather than .doc) so that more word processors can read it.
To save Miranda the trouble of running her mailmerge, here's the press release for this book, as it would have been sent out:
<BLOCKQUOTE>PublishAmerica is proud to announce that it has acquired the rights to publish
Atlanta Nights, by Alabama's newly discovered author, Travis Tea. Editorial Director Miranda Prather expressed confidence today that Mr. Tea's book will quickly resonate with an audience.
"
Atlanta Nights is a well written and crafted work of contemporary fiction that fits our specialty like a glove. PublishAmerica primarily publishes works by, for or about people who face a challenge in life and who overcome it by turning stumbling blocks into stepping stones. We believe that Mr. Tea is a promising talent in this field."
Most of PublishAmerica’s books are written by new and previously undiscovered talent, such as Alabama’s newly discovered author. A traditional publishing company, PublishAmerica pays advances and royalties while offering a distinct alternative to authors who would most likely be overlooked by larger, more commercial publishers simply due to their lack of experience in the industry.
More details about book and author will soon appear at www. publishamerica.com When released, the book will be available through all local bookstores as a trade paperback.
