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...
Fantastic and many congratulations June so happy and excited for you. I know how very hard you have worked and self doubted yourself so many times. If anyone deserves this you certainly do. You should feel extremely proud of yourself its your dream come true. Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Michele. For all that you do.

ReplyDeleteYup. It is nine pages long. I don't think my job contract has so many pages... =)
