Publishing Success!
May. 29th, 2006 10:03 amI spoke to my publisher last week and pitched the Irish/Quebecois book/CD and he has agreed to work on it! The first step is to tally up the expenses involved in producing this book and then applying to the Canada Council for some funding (which my publisher has agreed to follow-up on).
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to apply for two grants for the same project. The Canada Council does not have a single grant for a book/CD, but they do have two grants that do apply:
Spoken Word and Storytelling Program (for the CD)

Book Publishing Support: Emerging Publisher Grants (for the Book)
http://www.canadacouncil.ca/grants/writing/of127227340679531250.htm
So hopefully, by next summer, I should have a new book/CD out. If it's Canada Council approved, that might help me with credibility and sale-ability of the product.
