Preparing 4 Birth

I looked at i-universe; they look like a pretty good POD publisher. And a friend said he'd used them and they were good.

I also found someone MAYBE to do my cover. i-universe will do a cover, but I know the cover is the 1st drawing point and I want it to be fab. Books can die because of their covers. So much of my budget will go there.

But I'm still looking at other POD publishers. Maybe I can negotiate the best deal.

Fired My Agent

Yes indeedy I did, fire my agent. She had my book for a year. She originally edited it and SHE approached me saying that she ME saying that she also agented books and she loved mine and wanted to be my agent. Okay. We negotiated a contract. She sent it to ONE place in that entire year. THEN she advised me to change some words in my book...called God, 'God,' and not the Big-Guy... I told her that's what I call God, the Big-Guy--I always have. She advised me again to change it or I might be looking at 'self-publishing.'

I wrote back terminating our contract and YEAH, I'll self-publish. She has probably done me a huge favor. So, I'm off and running and looking into giving birth myself to this book...or to be more precise...my book will be birthed by cesarean section. Cause. I don't expect it will be easy.
