I'm glad everybody on this thread is happy. This is not good news for me. Edits were just completed on my first book. And please no nasty comments. There has been enough nastiness on this thread.
I've been exactly where you are, writerreader, and trust me when I say this is the best thing that could have happened to your book. My very first novel sold to what I thought was a reputable company in 2006. I was over the freaking moon happy. So happy I ignored the little warning signs and red flags I might have noticed otherwise and gave the pub a lot of latitude because it was my first time and I was sure they knew better than me how things should work.
I'll give you the short version and say a year later my book was stuck in editing limbo when abruptly the publisher folded out from under us all. It was devastating, thinking I'd never sell again, what if no one else wanted to take a chance on me, my books, what if this was the end of my career before it even started.
It was the exact opposite. I took that book (once I'd fought tooth and nail with the owner who didn't want to go to the effort of writing true release of rights letters) and sold it to the biggest epub in the game at the time, Ellora's Cave. And I've published over 25 books and novellas since.
So it's not the end. It's the best thing. It gets said a lot but it's so true - better to not be published at all than to be poorly published. It's especially true in today's rapidly changing publishing industry. This is an invaluable lesson - in how it should NOT be done. Take everything you 'learned' at Noble and go bigger, better next time.
Don't wait too long, either, or this can become a weight you can't shake. Get back out there with your newly freed book and give it a real home.
