Fanfare! My publishing independence day/month

[booknut77]

Hi, I never seem to have much time to hang out here anymore but I thought I'd give you a little update on where things are with me and my writing.
My book The Gift of Lies came out in February. My publisher went out of business at the end of May. Boom, so much for my career as a traditionally published author. They were very nice about giving me the rights along with the cover and interior files however so I still have my book, just forced to self publish it.
It took me a while to get over mourning, but now I'm ready to press forward and see how I do in this new phase of things.
This is an invitation to join my celebration. Come on over to my open house and enter to win a $25.00 amazon gift card and other fun things. Eat some virtual food and lets party all month.
Thanks for being there for me through the good times and the tough times.

Well that's a bummer, but still you can offer it to other publishers as having previously been published which is a huge bonus. Admittedly you may have to try for some time to find the right one. Also, I'm guessing you didn't have an agent first? There are several agents who don't touch unsolicited work but do handle previously publisher Authors, so I'd say you have more chances than most of us. Hopefully you got a few spare copies as well? Meanwhile, the next novel is waiting for you to write it.

As @Alistair Roberts said..try approaching agents again with this leverage.

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you, through no fault of your own. It's a harsh thing to have happen, and it could happen to any of us. Best of luck with finding another publisher or self publishing. Let us know how you get on.

Very sorry to hear this. I hope you can find your book a fitting new home that makes you happy!

Part of the warp and weft in the tapestry of life....
Good luck with the new phase!

 

[Karen Gray]

Sorry to hear that. I wish you much luck for the future.

I guess my post is more negative than I intended. I meant to portray that I'm over the bad time and moving on with a positive attitude. In other words its party time.
Come on over and win some prizes!
Haven't had too many entries yet so the odds may be forever in your favor. They are not all limited to the US either.
