In a comment someone asked my how to get Cobalt to consider you for a manuscript. I just want to warn that this is how Cobalt did things with me I don't know if they do the same things.
The First thing I did was got super-bored and wrote a lot. I spent hours writing things when I was unemployed. I got a friend to help me put it all together and finalize stuff and then we made a website.
This next part may be a bit tricky for anyone else to do but here goes
I connected with Joel Baker through a social networking site and asked him if he would help me complete the stories, while being a little mysterious. He agreed but at the time a Boston based company was also interested but Mr. Baker and his team were very willing and they were closer to my home.
That's my story. I hope that helps (Danielle, right ?. If you are really interested in working something out you can contact me, I'm sure my e-mail is somwhere and I'll try to make sure it gets in the right hands.
Oh, I almost forgot. I'm taking a page out of Shawnna's book and created a website just for spirits. If the white on black font is murderous to your eyes, the other version will still be there. The formatting looks off but just wanted to let you know it's there.

I usually put my name in the website because I want people to know it's written by a female.
Off to finish writing.
- Linda
Did you ever meet JSO, you said you didn't know he was married so are they divorced ?
ReplyDeleteNice website btw
I can't wait for an update. Can you give us JB's e-mail, the cobaltpub one gets you nowhere
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a writers Cinderella story, have you ever considered joining JB on tour since he likes your work so much.
ReplyDeleteWhat social networking site ? How did you contact him he doesn't even answer blog comments. I think I have a pretty decent idea too.
ReplyDeleteI heard they rejected Andy and I think she had everything you had. DO you know why they didn't like her.
ReplyDeleteHave you met JB ? What is he really like ?
The new site is very cool. The black is a bit distracting because it turn my screen into a mirror but it still looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda ! I really just had an idea, nothing written in stone and I thought if I went to Cobalt they would help me turn it into a book
ReplyDeleteDo you think JB had a crush on you or something ? I think he may be single soon . . .

ReplyDelete@Tara - JB said in his blog that he is married so I guess that answers that
@ Petit_b - I don't know if I'm allowed to and I don't want to get fired.
@ Lydia - I don't plan on doing tours and I think JB has a full crew as it is.
@ Sila-I did some digging and found out his user name
@ Anne - I don't know why they didn't take her, I think they wanted a different genere.
@ Christy - Thanks, sorry about your screen. I'll keep the original up.
@Danielle - You're welcome. There are no guarantees though
@loveshereyes - No, I don't think he had a crush in me, he doesn't comment on my blog enough
Why do people have to know it was written by a female ?
ReplyDelete@ July - I don't know I just feel like that makes a differece.
