How am I just seeing this now? Anyway, I have heard it’s nerdy to post these, but I am not ashamed to say I’ve waited my whole writing life to have a PM deal report. I guess the word is officially out about this weird book coming out in September. Thanks so much to @santafewritersproject!
You have described my favorite books, including the out of contract part. I can think of several indie presses that would publish the hell out of this book.
Sure, I’m out of a contract, struggling to finish this novel, and have no clue what’ll happen next in my career, but I’m writing exactly the kind of dark, sad, weird, violent, magical mosaic of a book I want to write and that’s what this whole gig is really about.
