Well, I finished FULL SERVICE late last night, even though I’d had a long day. I got too close to the end to put it down, so I willed myself to stay awake and I finished it. I highly recommend it. The author has three other books out, which are a trilogy, and about baseball. I can hardly wait to get my hands on those.
And now for the tiny rant…
Why do publishers insist on an SASE in their guidelines, and then use their own envelopes and postage when they answer you? I got another one yesterday! This is not the first time either. I’ve had entire manuscripts returned at a publisher’s expense with my SASE tucked inside, which is not nearly as annoying as having the entire manuscript returned without the SASE, but still…
I usually only include a letter-sized SASE and give them permission to recycle the manuscript, but I’ve had them return 250 pages at their cost anyway. Weird. Okay…done with the rant. Sort of…
At least when they do that, I stand there reading the letter (because I never actually get all the way into the house from the mailbox before I open it) and instead of worrying about the rejection, I am wondering about their postage budget. Just think, they could probably publish another book per year (mine!) if they cut out the free postage.
Read well and often…
