Working with a Publisher
There is not an author alive who doesn't have Publisher stories. (challenges, etc.)
Here is what I did when I sent out my work to different Publishers.
My very good friend Anysia, who does Professional Astrology, recommended I get a chart done on the deck I was creating. This was before the book was written and a good 1/3 of the deck was still not finished. She did my chart and it showed that if I didn't find a publisher withing 4 months that there would be a 1-2 year delay in getting published.
I immediately created a CD showing my work and printed out samples of the cards. I sent out three envelopes to the "Big Three" Tarot publishers. Here is what happened. One politely said, "Thank you but no thank you." One never returned my mail. And the third, Llewellyn Worldwide Publishing said, "Yes!" They called me right away and we set up a publishing schedule.
Things move like mud in the publishing world so expect delays, etc. But don't give up hope!!! Keep working on your project and keep sending out your work for review.
yours in the cards,
Joseph
