I just got home (about to head to my dayjob, bah) from the Tucson Festival of Books. They are having dozens of awesome panels but I attended one on–what else–erotic romance.
Two of the three authors presenting were epubbed only, and the last, Sherill Quinn, just signed her first deal with Kensington but is otherwise epubbed. To see epubbed authors heavily represented and singing the praises of the ebook was a great experience for me. I often struggle with the idea of NY–do I submit there, or continue to submit to online publishers? There are positives and negatives to each, but I’m proud of the work I have done online, and continue to do (oh yes, there will be more stories from me in the not too distant future.)
I am reinvigorated by the idea of ebook novelists being taken seriously by the book-reading and publishing community at large. Suddenly I feel like a “real writer,” lol.
