A few weeks back I decided to contact a publisher and send my first three chapters and all the required info. My novel is nearly completed (editing and final draft being sorted). I informed them that it wasn't quite finished and hoped I may get some feedback as this is my first venture as an author. I was delighted when they wrote back to me. They have offered to do a short run of my book to see how it goes , if it sells then they will look at pressing more. The publishers specialise in a different genre of books than the one I'm writing so this would be a different path for them. Should I accept the first offer ( they are based near where I live, which would make it handy for meetings) or should I hold fire until other publishers have been approached?
Congratulations!
Why not meet with them before making a final decision, seeing as they're so close.
And then (as with everything else in life from a new job to getting a new internet provider) read everything before you sign a contract. And don't just read the contract - have a look at their books, and see what's written about them on websites (Author Beware, I think it's called).
Let us know how you get on.
