| I am on top of the world! I signed another contract to publish a book. The first one was a novel. This one is non-fiction. Both are published authors who approached me. They are spaced enough apart and on different levels of being published that I can confidently do this without any hesitation. One we have a tentative Oct. 15th pub date and the other one the end of Nov. They are helping me as much as I am helping them.
I am told the draw to me is that I critique, give info, and help the author in areas that most big houses don't. This I hear from authors that I have rejected as well as those I have accepted. Whether I publish someone or not, as an author, I know what they need: input. So I try to help other authors fulfill their dreams whether I publish them or not. That is what Weaving Dreams Publishing is all about.
I just wanted to share my good fortune with all of you, and thank you for all the help on my journey as an author and a publisher. |

| Yes it is Merrihiatt. I made sure they knew what my limitations were at this time, as well as what I can do for them. They knew I was a new publisher when they approached me. One was an author at an author fair I attended in one town, and approached me at another author fair. I held off. Then I read her manuscript. WOW! I am honored to publish it. And we work well together. That is important also as I want to be hands on with my authors.
Sorry for going on so. I will shut up on this now. *grin* |

| Sue, I will. I liked being able to read about the book you have published (and new books you will be publishing). I also loved the colors of the site and it was easy to navigate. I really like clean layouts without flying butterflies and other sparkley things distracting me. =) Oh, and this is off-topic, but the URL for Absolute Write is www.absolutewrite.com (the site is down right now). I left you a note on the other thread, but thought I'd post it here, too. I'm not sure what other sites were referenced. |

| Thanks, Merri, for the kind words and the input about my website for the company. If you find anything you didn't like I hope you let me know that as well. Or maybe something I didn't add and should have.
Thanks, D.J., I need all the luck I can get. LOL |
