Suddenly everything has changed.<\/p>\n
At a literary evening which I almost didn\u2019t go to,\u00a0 I come upon Shona Martyn of Harper Collins.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou wrote that letter. Come and see me,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
I ask Bem to come with me, for she\u2019s much more e-literate than me- though I\u2019m learning fast, on the job, the way I\u00a0 learn best. But I\u2019m still incoherent- e knowledge seems like learning a language, where you understand more than you can say.<\/p>\n
Harper Collins are very welcoming, and don\u2019t put me on the spot at all, except that we have a discussion about digital rights management, which they think is essential, but Kate Eltham didn\u2019t, relying instead on pricing books low. And afterwards, they send me a letter offering to publish my novel, taking print rights, and e rights for Australia and New Zealand, but giving me rights to e publish everywhere else.<\/p>\n
So it is quite like the partnership I envisaged back in the hotel room in Athens!<\/p>\n
So, how do I take up these rights I so desired? How exactly do I e publish?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
