Hi, folks. In May 2018 I signed a contract (and received part of the advance) to publish my SF/Space Opera novel The Widening Gyre to Don D’Auria at Flame Tree Press, a new imprint debuting their first books in September 2019. My book is currently slated for March 2019.
Flame Tree will be publishing Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Crime & Mystery fiction. The early release slate’s ARCs have been garnering some good press.
I couldn’t have done this without Scrivener. Well, okay, maybe I could have, but it would have been so much harder! Thank you to the Scrivener team for making the program so easy to learn and work with. I’ll be using it as I continue to write, and singing its praises everywhere. Even some of my high school students have bought it since I showed it off last year during a lesson on writing tools.
Congrats! Please give us “outsiders” some insight into the post release numbers. It would be interesting to see it without the filter of a sales pitch.
First, congratulations! That is amazing and I hope it does incredibly well. I’m also in the camp who would love the unfiltered updates about the publishing process.
On another note, I just popped into your website and read the story synopsis and wowza it sounds great.
And very deftly done, if one is allowed to quote my favorite character Ilisidi (well, I do love C.J. Cherryh’s work)
But - 2020 for the 2nd volume? Thats harsh.
I am deeply embarassed to admit that no, it was not caught until after printing. Everyone involved is feeling quite stupid. Especially me, as I’ve looked at it dozens of times.
) of the future for so long.
