Eleanor McCallie Cooper
Author of Dragonfly Dreams
Q. What do you consider to be one of the most important messages in Dragonfly Dreams?
A: At the beginning of the book, a dragonfly lands on Nini’s arm and her best friend Chiyoko tells her, “If a dragonfly lands on you, it means change is coming. You better watch your dreams, Nini.” How do we deal with change? We hear expressions today like “the world is coming apart” or “the end of the world as we know it,” but Nini’s world literally collapsed around her. That may be how young people feel today.
We publish two ways.
Traditional Publishing
- This option is normally only for seasoned writers (with or without an agent) with superb work and a verifiable track record of sales and marketing success. The term traditional means that the author will not pay for any development costs or fees, and will typically be offered an advance payment on royalties.
Co-Publishing
- This option is best for emerging writers with high-quality work desiring a professional-level publishing experience. Writers accepted into our Emerging Author Program are positioned to land a traditional deal on subsequent books. Those best suited for this program are motivated and collaborative, and receive the same level of editing, creative development and marketing as our traditional authors.
