I don't remember your book, but it sounds interesting and I wish you the best of luck with it. Sometimes I think the hard part is promoting it and getting it to circulate. The more you put in the more you will get out of it. estory

Exactly! And this is why I'm not expecting great things with this publisher, who is young and ambitious, but I'm sure is lacking connections.
Comment from NANCY V. FORREST
Congratulations! I wish I had your courage and knowledge to try such a feat. And in real paper, too--wow. May you have the very best of luck in your new career!

Thank you, Mary. I have been helped by so many. And a lot that you describe as talent is merely the reflection of that help.
Comment from J.R. Michael
What wonderful and exciting event going on with your work. I would have loved to have helped in the process but it seems like you already have your stuff figured out. Good luck with everything.
P.s. love the self-deprecation

So kind of you to weigh in, J.R. And with a six, too! You know what Nietzsche says about self-deprecation. A worm scrunches up and makes itself smaller so it won't get stepped on. Or words to that effect.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is wonderful. I'm so happy for you. I could do this and would love to, but if you have people you know better and who have read this before, I would understand.

Awwww, Carol. thank you. It's not a question of people I know better or who have read it originally, but I already have the three I asked for. And more than that would make it difficult for me to correspond with. If this works out, I will have Volume 2 and 3 following. You would be such an asset to have on my team!

You're a really good writer. So glad you have your 3 so quickly.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Jay, I am so over the moon for you! You really deserved this and I'm so pleased you have been picked up by a publisher. A rarity these days. I bought a kindle copy of your books and also wrote a review on Amazon. I'm glad you have your Beta readers, I just checked. I nearly missed this, too! You don't need me now, but I would have been happy to help you out. Good luck with the publishers, I am so very happy for you, my dear friend. :)) Sandra xxx

You are so sweet, Sandra. That's a pity. You would have made such a valuable beta reader, too. I will have Volume 2 and 3 coming right on this one's tail, so if you're still interested then, I'll put your name down with the rest who missed the call. Danggit!

I haven't had much time to look in my inbox recently and have only just come upon this. First of all, good luck with the publishing venture. I see you have a full complement of beta readers, but I shall be interested in purchasing a copy of the book when it comes out.

Ah, Tony, you are such a friend. Thank you. You can better believe you'll hear me boasting about the publication as soon as the contract is signed and the book delivered.
Comment from justafan
I am not qualified to edit anything but if you wouldn't mind, I would like to read The Trining. Your writing style has always interested me.
This little Vanilla write is a prime example of why I love what you write.
Always

Missy, if you would like me to send you the attachment for Volume one (I same one I'm sending to my Beta readers), PM me your email address. Or another way is to have you dig into my portfolio here (though I've made big improvements on FS's posts).

Hello Jay Squires,
I went through the whole piece of General Non-Fiction from top to bottom, and found it very captivating.
What I like most are these lines which depict your SELF-CONFIDENCE in an interesting way:
"And most of you who've read my stuff will vouch for the fact that while Jay may lack genius, the kid has a pretty solid grasp of grammar and punctuation. So, I'll have a fairly clean MS to hand over."
LAUDABLE Attitude!

Jay:
I am so excited for you. I'm sorry I just saw this as I would have loved to do this for you. I had no doubt that you would receive numerous offers of help from your fellow Fanstorians. Overall, they are a great group. Can't wait until the final product is ready for purchase.

Oh, Jan, you'd better believe I'll be strutting around FS like a Banty Rooster just as soon as the book is published. Thank you so much for your kind words.
