Publishers Querying Authors

Yes, I know I still owe a post in my series on pricing...it is too important of a post to rush, and I'm doing an experiment that I want more results on before I post. In the meantime...here's some late breaking news.

Ridan Publishing has traditionally found its authors by watching for self-published writers who have found an audience. It just seemed to make sense to make good business sense to me. When Amazon started their Encore program - I thought, "Hey, so those in the business are starting to catch on".

Yesterday, I found out that H.P. Mallory has been approached by Random House. She doesn't have an offer yet, but the fact that her ratings on Amazon is getting a big-six to look at her is encouraging to say the least.

For those that don't know H.P. has three books released:

• Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble, a Paranormal Romance (Jolie Wilkins Series, Book #1)
• Toil and Trouble, a Paranormal Romance (Book 2 of the Jolie Wilkins Series)'
• To Kill A Warlock, an Urban Fantasy (Dulcie O'Neil Series, Book #1)

It's nice to see that the "dinosaurs" are starting to learn to adapt to the new world order in publishing. I see more and more evidence that there has never been a better time to be writing then now.
