It's Friday morning, 5th April. I return to my desk at the day job from a coffee run to see an email in my inbox titled 'Harper Impulse submission'. My heart starts thumping wildly. It's only been three weeks since I submitted to Harper Impulse , the brand new imprint from Harper Collins, but I've heard via the grapevine that the editors had an acquisitions meeting... I'm not too stressed. A sale would be a dream come true, but a rejection won't be the end of the world. If it's a rejection, then I plan to self-publish. I have a freelance editor on standby and a cover already designed. I may not be anxious, but I can still scarcely breathe as I click open the email. It's two lines only. "Are you free today for a quick call? I'd love to chat further to you about your submission." I've already had friends go through this, so I know editors don't just call to chat about your work. They call to buy. I shoot back a reply. ...
Well done, Romy!
ReplyDeleteAm looking forward to finding out which lucky editor has your partial in her inbox. Very excited for you :-)
Good for you, Romy! I'm awaiting my 'verdict'. It's been three weeks, two days and four hours... Keep us informed!
ReplyDeleteHug, Wilma
Go girl! Well done Romy!
