[*no, I’m not talking about Kasey Chambers. Catchy title, though, so I’m going to borrow it.]
Yesterday:
The Good: An expression of interest was made in pre-ordering my book; this will end up being a number somewhere over 50 copies, which is wonderful.
The Bad: I received a letter in the mail from a book distributor who I approached in regards to potentially distributing Surprise! nationwide. It reads:
{Insert impersonal salutation}
Unfortunately, we do not feel we could generate a big enough volume of sales to justify the costs of representation and distribution of this title.
{Insert impersonal sign-off.}
So, basically, a big, fat, middle finger.
Dammit.
Never mind, I will persist!
