That is fabulous news! Congrats! When you get a chance, give some advice to those of us who have no idea how to market/shop a book idea: should I have the whole thing done? a chapter? help! Are you done with the whole manuscript?
Yay! Excellent news. Also, should you not get an offer this year, the book contract will make an enormous difference should you choose to go on the market again. But bugger the forward looking statement, and enjoy your success!
Thanks so much everybody! Needless to say, I'm as happy as I've been, like, EVER.
And Horace, it WAS the editor who contacted me about the possible collection! Score one for shameless self-promotion! (I just hope I don't fuck this up. I mean, they've not even seen the whole manuscript and they're offering me the contract - what if I don't live up to my own hype?) Ok, enough of that parenthetical angst. Am so happy! Will be angsty about it tomorrow!
