Matthew Bishop
Scribe
Hey Scribes!
I self published my first novel five years ago, and the sequel three years ago. I have six more scripts waiting to be put into production.
I made that choice because I thought I'd have time to market and distribute the books myself. Turns out I was absolutely wrong.
I've finally accepted that I just don't have the time in my work week to be both a novelist and a publisher. I'm on the hunt now for a publisher who can take over my self-published titles and will take over the novels I have scheduled for the future as well.
I was hoping some of you fellow Scribes might have good insights and recommendations?
I already work for Barnes and Noble and I am well keyed-in to larger distribution groups like Ingram and Baker. I'm willing to do a little extra leg work with Barnes and Noble for any serious publisher willing and able to distribute my works nationally. I just absolutely do not have the time to market, publish, and represent myself the ways successful self-published authors do. I'm willing to sacrifice some royalty and maybe even some rights if there's a quality publisher out there who can pick me up as a career writer and work with me and my networks to get this off the ground.
ALL opinions welcome. I want to be certain about the choice I make.
Thanks friends!
Keep writing!
Matt
