If you keep on believing...


The second email came almost straight away - accepting my apology and requesting the first two chapters of my manuscript... 

After several back and forth emails, I was offered a contract. Hmmm... and what a contract that was. It was nine whole pages. As I've already mentioned, this isn’t my first published book, so I had signed author's contracts before, but in the past those contracts were on one page - a standardised form. Now this contract was completely different. 

You might think that I jumped and signed it as soon as it landed in my inbox. Well that was not the case. I took my time to read it, to re-read it and... well, I won’t bother you with all the details, but I have to say that Safkhet Publishing answered all the crazy questions that popped into my head and finally we signed the contract and sealed our agreement.

I really don't need to point out that at that moment one of my biggest dreams came true. And yes...
