My novel "Hogs of Cold Harbor" is about to come out. It carries a large endorsement from Norman Mailer. Trade paperback, published by Whitmore Publishing. Whitmore charged me nothing and is promoting the book on local, national and special interest levels by sending galleys or advance copies. (About 80.) My question is this: Does Whitmore have a good or poor chance of finding an agent to sell mass market and/or hardback rights to a BIG publisher, like Ballentine? Whitmore holds rights for five years. If the book sells 5000 copies, is there a good chance of selling reprint rights to a BIG New York publisher? (In short, is my Whitmore book endorsed my Norman Mailer a big deal or small potatoes? I don't have a clue.)
