Hi,
I've been working on a fantasy novel for various years. I think it's almost ready to submit and I'm considering entering a competition. If I win the competition this publisher
will have the rights to publish my book for 10 years. The publisher is local.
The novel I wrote took a life of it's own getting the characters to unexpected places. I believe the novel works out well and leaves the possibility of becoming a series.
Maybe I'm just dreaming (My first book by an educational publisher will be out next year. I have only published poetry, stories and articles.) Yet, I'm not sure if I should submit
my novel, since it could limit my publishing possibilities, if it does well.
Your comments would be appreciated. Am I dreaming too much? Should I go for it or check other alternatives? I sent synopsis to two or three publishers before making these last
revisions and they liked it, but said it didn't meet their needs.
Thank you for your insights.
