They aren't as "finished" or perfect as it will be when stuff hits the shelves, but we have at least one movie production company waiting on galleys, so cross your fingers, girls!<br /><br />Jenn--sounds like you're on the right track with your promo stuff! Keep at it!<br /><br />No problem, Robin and Liane--glad to share in hopes it helps. :-)<br /><br />Casse, I'm hoping SMP'll give me info on how folks can join the list so i can share that, too. =DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169196645906962674.post-47300371755645743262009-12-12T05:17:15.217-05:002009-12-12T05:17:15.217-05:00Very informative and I almost broke out in hives j...Very informative and I almost broke out in hives just imagining that it was me on that call lol.

I'm so excited for you and I'm truly enjoying this voyeuristic glimpse into the process of seeing your novel go into print with a major house.

I'm doing many things right, the social networking, the long term thinking. For the Laundry Hag series, I have recipes up on my blog. Recipes which will eventually be made into a book. Got the promo items. Hag Swag and whatnot which are this year's Christmas Gifts. Same with the prequil "The Story of Maggie and Neil" that I have up on textnovel and is slotted for more work after Redeeming Characters and then Stellar Timing.<br /><br />I don't have a clue what BEA is or galleys for that matter. Wanna fill me in?Jennifer L Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17748162770521635445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169196645906962674.post-91780500551602516962009-12-08T21:11:01.852-05:002009-12-08T21:11:01.852-05:00Thanks, Saranna.

I just figure if I can give a little insight maybe it'll be helpful--I know the whole process has been an eye-opener for me (I've learned a lot already and there's still so much to learn).<br /><br />And thank you (and your girls) for being excited about the book's release--I am, too! ;-)<br /><br />*hugs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169196645906962674.post-6216475858691260532009-12-08T20:07:32.318-05:002009-12-08T20:07:32.318-05:00Very exciting, Shannon!

It's really helpful and eductional that you've been so open about what happens after you sell. You've kept us in the loop every step of the way.<br /><br />And, I'm really excited to read your book. Both of my girls are too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774647553760700746noreply@blogger.com
