Not Wasted

Well, got the email from the Publisher considering the Ares Gambit, and they were very polite, but formulaic in their decision not to proceed. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed, but they invited me to submit again with another proposal in the future and they replied to me shortly before the deadline of 12 Weeks, but with enough time passed to consider it – which tells me that I almost made it off the slush pile.

So it’s good news, really. In a way.

Because it means that I can Indie Pub the book and get on with it! 😀

However. There is a question.

There is another Publisher who is looking for submissions at the moment, and they too want exclusivity on my MS, just like the last one. If submitted, this would stop Ares Gambit going out for another 12 weeks.

In a way, that’s handy, as otherwise I have to get on to my cover artist and sort out some test covers, and it also buys time for the editor to pull apart my other books.

And yet…

Anyway, will have to think on it. Go steady out there fellow Adventurers, and as always:

Have a great day. 🙂
