This is very good to know. I asked...Thanks, Paty!<br /><br />This is very good to know. I asked the question because someone in my chapter has just signed with an e-pub (not TWRP) and she had to negotiate their contract to only cover sequels or works directly related to the ms. being published. They originally wanted first dibs on ALL future works.<br /><br />Thank you for answering my question and good luck with your publishing goals!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-20914602430506404422007-01-09T07:49:00.000-08:002007-01-09T07:49:00.000-08:00To anonymous,

You are free to submit other work any where you want. And you are only contracted to them for that piece for two years or longer if you wish to extend the contract.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-54459391394821998252007-01-08T19:12:00.000-08:002007-01-08T19:12:00.000-08:00Paty, good luck with finding a new slant on a hist...Paty, good luck with finding a new slant on a historical western plot. I have a question, if you don't mind. If an author is contracted with TWRP, is the author still free to seek publication with the big NY pubs? That's what I'm gathering from reading your blog. I know that most contracts are pretty restrictive about "future" works, so this would be a good thing to know up front.

Yeah, the more I think about it, what isn't unique about my Spirit book??<br /><br />Sheesh, there's spirits battling, and a love match between the spirit and the human, not to mention a triangle sort of, that's Desperate Housewifish. <br /><br />I'm thinking of sending Spirit of the Mountain to Medallion and Five Star, Though M wants exclusive until they decide, which kind of puts it off the market until they come back to me. *sigh*<br /><br />Not sure where to go with those.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-12766160735917338482007-01-05T19:48:00.000-08:002007-01-05T19:48:00.000-08:00Hey, Paty! That is FABULOUS NEWS.
I thought that...Hey, Paty! That is FABULOUS NEWS. <br /><br />I thought that the plot in MIP was pretty unique. <br /><br />"Unique" these days all seems to mean paranormal--and I have no idea how you'd get a paranormal western comedy. Like the fairy godmother comes in on the stagecoach? And vampires and the old west definetely don't mix. IMHO.<br /><br />I think you've got the unique in you already:) You're doing something unique by making your heroines so self-reliant and capable.chanceofbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393065399787426434noreply@blogger.com
