This update is to let you know that there is a publishing deal on the table. I just hung up the phone with a publisher who's been interested in this book right from the beginning. I won't mention the publisher until I've signed a final contract but I can tell you that I've had enough interactions with them at this point to know they would be a great partner to help publish and market this book.
I was pretty set on self-publishing but it looks like we might be able to come to an agreeable contract to move forward with a professional publishing deal.
This is exciting for many reasons:
- A time tested partnership with someone that can guide me (Publishing a book effectively is much more involved than one would imagine.)
- Better pricing on the book
- A completely professional product cover to cover
- A marketing plan with accountability that can help get this book into more people's hands
- Worldwide distribution both online and in bookstores
I'll be back with you as soon as I can review the contract and approve the terms.
Once that's settled I'll be able to reach back out and finally give you actual dates on when you'll receive your book. That's exciting to me because you're the reason this book is getting published in the first place and you're my only priority as we move forward.
Ps. I'm gonna make sure I include some extra perks in your package as a way to thank you for your support and patience throughout this process.
Much love,
Pete
