Any thoughts on a sequel to the Mother Muse collection of motherhood-based writings?
I have sent copies to several book publishers, with the marketing plan and success of the first collection, but have been told vaguely (of course) that a sequel wouldn't fit with their current needs ... typical form rejection letter, I know, and yet I wonder if it's a sign that I should just go the self-published route again, and just get going on it, so that it will be out by spring 2010.
I know of several mass-momma markets in the Rochester, NY area, and have a few contacts elsewhere as well, so hopefully the response will be even greater than the 24 contributors to the first edition.
Any thoughts here?

i know NOTHING of publishing really, but i think that one way or another you should go for it. any way i can help i will!
ReplyDeleteanother idea...instead of pitching the IDEA to publishers how about pitching the FINISHED product? what i mean is get the volume together like last time and present the entire compilation to publishers for review. if it doesn't get accepted then go the self publishing route again.
