Simply put, getting a publishing contract is bloody hard. Even more so because apparently 'the largest epic ever written in English' is far </FONT><B><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#800000">too </B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>an </FONT><B><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#800000">ambitious</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> project </FONT><B><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#800000">for mainstream publishers</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> - they don’t want to commit to a long term publishing contract with an unknown like myself. They're worried they'll lose money over an untested author.</P> <P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">So one way of helping promote my writing is to </FONT><B><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#800000">demonstrate</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> a </FONT><B><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#800000">public</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> </FONT><B><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#800000">interest</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> in the writing. The Forum membership total is way of proving that interest. Of course, there's no gain in marketing for sympathy. So I offer the </FONT><B><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#800000">CD as an incentive</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>.</P> <P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Oh, I am also working on a series of </FONT><B><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#800000">mainstream novels</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>, all </FONT><B><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#800000">written to</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> precise </FONT><B><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#800000">marketing</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> and </FONT><B><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#800000">publishing demands</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2>, to introduce the world of Chronicles of Empire. That's my lever into publishing my masterpiece.</P> <P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Still, having some measure of public support can hardly go amiss when I come to take those manuscripts to the publishers. I think it'll help. Which is why I'm giving away free stuff.</P> <P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Oh - did I mention that there's a library of </FONT><B><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#800000">other free stuff</B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> here, too?
