I agree with Benjamin,
I talked to a couple traditional small press (not POD or Vanity or Ebook) editors I know. They take submissions all year. The exceptions being time off at the holidays, summer vaction (when they bring them on the Kindle but...
Only if the sperm are still alive, which gives you two to three hours from ejaculation. Past that the acids can confirm seminal fluid is present.
Your figures are correct for novels sold via the distribution stream. Walmart and Amazon aquire the books via the wholesale stream at a negotiated price with the publisher based on volume. For a $25 Hardcover book, they are probably paying around ...
Hiya,
I usually have two or more novels going at one time. This month it's three, another in the planning stage and I cranked out four short stories. Can it be done? Sure. Does it hurt? Not really, they are difierent genres with different writing...
Hi,
Congrats on getting a full request.

CJ West said… - Thanks Bob. I'm glad you enjoyed Taking Stock.
That was actually the first book I ever wrote. I published Sin and Vengeance first because pre-readers were raving about it. Then I went back and rewrote Taking Stock from scratch. It turned out to be a much stronger book in the end, but I'm still partial to Sin and Vengeance.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your note. It's great to hear that you enjoyed my work!

Selling books, writing books, writing about books, it's not for people who want to drive a Porshe. But we really love what we do.
Did you read the new Lee Child yet? It's his best one yet.
