American publisher
I had written what I thought was a good book and a post-Holocaust thriller that lasted several years and several countries. Frustrated because he could not find a publisher, I think the question publishers outside the U.S. I have a niece who lives in England, and it struck me that perhaps have a British publisher interested in my book, because that finding. Within days, I have a question for a small press in London. They were not interested.
I have decided that another publisher, a company that was almost sixty years to try. In less than three weeks, I received a letter requesting that I send the entire manuscript. No American publisher had asked to read the entire manuscript. So far so good. Then later came another letter several weeks with an offer to publish my novel. My wife and I celebrated that night with a bottle of champagne. There was nothing for me to wait for someone, perhaps an editor to keep in touch with me.
It was not long before the publisher gave me additional information and, more importantly, a release date. As expected, one of her editors at my manuscript and sent it back to me for review. Here also, so far so good. The book, with a nice jacket, drew attention to issue a few months later was released.
What is PR and advertising? I was over the sea and could not personally participate in any way. This seemed not to disturb the publisher my book listed in several directories. Incidentally, I was the only American on the list for this year. They published more than a hundred books in all genres. A year later I sold the lot of pressure to another London publisher and the book continues to sell throughout the UK
Now you might wonder ... It was worthwhile to publish it in England? The short answer is no. Sure, the UK published my book, but they have little to sell or promote it in the U.S.. If I do it again, I might try an American-born editor. The truth is, I missed a proper start-up with radio and television interviews, etc. I have now done so with the publication of my latest book. But if I think my first book in my hands, I must say I am grateful to my British publisher to take a chance on an unknown author, whose work was otherwise not seen, perhaps the light of day.
