Starla,

Let’s keep talking in English, as most people do not speak Dutch. Well, I stay interested in the Netherlands because my mother and siblings live there. I didn’t study English but theoretical chemistry! However I have been an avid reader since I learned reading and I have worked in the publishing industry for a long time.

Hi Starla,

I know your pain, many traditional publishing houses are not very open to different genres; I just happen to write in a popular and very trendy one: Horror. It's a genre that has always work best in the small and independent houses, and therefore, there are many out there to apply for.

I truly hope the season will bring lots of new, satisfied costumers for you.

Good luck!

Starla, I lived in London for about twenty years. I'm a publisher and I also translate from Dutch to English.

Thanks Starla, unfortunately, small publishing houses have very limited resources and, though they do various forms of promotion, there is a heavy about of promotion that the author will have to take if he/she desires to see his baby's figures grow high. For me, it has been a great experience to learn from and I can't wait to repeat it, I just think that having different works with different publisher will serve better to get my name and work out there; now all I need is to find more people interested in my stories :)

How about you? Did you always knew you'd self-publish? I have many friends in the indy world and even though it is a tough act, I think it can be very empowering, too.

I wish you the best with your novel and I'll be happy to help in any way I can.

Enjoy your weekend!

Gina

Starla,

Thank you. Yes you're right, like you I am Dutch but I have lived in London for a long time now.

Hi Starla,

Thanks for stoping by my blog. Book blogs is a great place to get to know people. I'm also new to the self-promoting stuff; being published by a small independent publishing house involves a lot of it, so please feel free to ask for help. I'll do my best.

Take care, hope to see you around.
