Mostly, I know the children's writers, but I know Alison through SF fandom(we were both on the committee of Aussiecon 3, a World SF convention) and Kerry has her email address at the back of her books. And she does book launches, everyone invited. <br /><br />I've been published by big presses, Allen and Unwin, Random House, Omnibus(part of Scholastic), but the local branches. I remember the lady from Random House, who was a friend of my favourite(small press) publisher saying, "We will never look after you the way he does." And it's true. My best experiences have been with small press.

I'm sorry to hear about Kerry's troubles and wish her well. One of the reasons I'll never go with the big publishers - you're stuck with their sometimes bad decisions, and covers are crucial. I de-stress by doing artwork, but I can't afford to buy anything. I just enjoy creating the promo ads for my books. Have a lovely weekend! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.com
