Publishing Projects
Jun. 15th, 2006 01:31 pmI met with my publisher yesterday (I just love being able to say that) and we talked about the new project. He's not too keen on the Canada Council and is not really interested in applying for grants for the book as the publisher. "Canada Council only gives grants to people who don't need them. Leonard Cohen? He'll get a grant. Bernie Cohen? Not so much."
I might actually have a better chance at getting a grant if I apply for it myself. Of course, it helps that I have one book published already, so it'll give me some weight. My publisher knows a writer in NDG who knows what forms to fill and how to fill them out, so I'll be calling him next week for some advice on this.
In the meantime, I'll be building a case for the CD production and maybe apply for a grant for the writing of the book. The CD grant also includes promotion, which I can tell you is an integral part of publishing a book.
I used to think that the tough part of getting published was just the writing of the book... hooboy, was I wrong. Selling and promoting the book is also a huge part of the publishing experience.
But on the upside, I just found out that somebody ordered a copy of the book from the Paragraph bookstore. I love it when mysterious people buy my book.
