OOC: another rejection for /Wrath of Trees/

*sigh* 

The books I seem to want to write are not the books that publishers seem to want to gamble upon.

Podcast/self-publish that mother... *then* take those download/sales numbers to a publisher next year. A lot of publishers nowadays want to see that a book can sell first before they pick it up.

Podcast would mean reading it out loud, wouldn't it? Self-publishing is likely, if the next handful of small presses say no.

Well it would mean SOMEONE reading it out loud... do you have any friends that have really good voices for that sort of thing?

Or getting someone with a nice voice to read it for you. Gosh, I can't think of anyone who fits that description, and would be willing to do it for you. Not anyone. Thinking, thinking, think... wait! What about... no. Sorry. I got nuttin'.

I am reluctant to add production costs, somehow. Also I have no idea how it would sound read out loud. Melyl didn't write particularly euphonically.

I've got Garage Band. And a headset. Toss me a copy of the manuscript, I'll read a couple of pages, and we'll see what it sounds like.

Let me talk to my business manager first. I very much appreciate the offer!
