Author of Blood to Rubies
Q: Your novel is very unique in fiction in that it features seventy archival images as chapter headers. Why did you choose this approach?
A: During…thirty years of research and writing, I pored over hundreds of books with wonderful archival photographs. They informed my main character, a young frontier photographer named Frederick Cortland, who goes West to escape the Civil War draft and ultimately befriends the Nez Perce and comes to admire Chief Joseph.
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.
Hybrid/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.
