: Hey, superstar! *Thanks but I still am just a stay at home mom of three who took five years to write a book! Don't let anyone bring you down about that - No way as I still have my dad who likes to be the voice of doom and gloom in my life. What are you looking to do? *I'm just looking for a good/simple writing program to begin work on my next novel - word is okay but the wrap-around text is a pain in the ass because everything is always moving. I don't know how involved you are in the production work. *Just e-mailed the signed prelim contract this morning to PublishAmerica and mentioned my want to have a say in every aspect of production ie: the art work, chosen photography, any editorial changes... Since it's my name on the cover I want it to be outstanding. The obvious programs have worked fine for me, Word, etc. (though I don't have a BOOK DEAL like some people)* I still can't believe it myself, and since "God" is in the details I want to make sure I keep it simple and true.
: Did Publish America offer an advance? No advance as of yet - they don't know that I have the next book "Ex-Sangui-Nation" in the works, but have offered me climbing royalties. I hope the first printing will sell well and they'll offer me an advance on my next book.
