Author of The Tannery
Q. There’s such a contrast between what is typically viewed as history and what is typically viewed as fiction. What part of your writing process do you think was the most important in order to mesh these two so well?
A: In my experience, fans of historical fiction always want to learn something they didn’t know before they read the book. But they also want to know where the “historical” ends and the “fiction” begins, the line between reality and imagination. The Tannery is a murder mystery and a legal thriller, but it is also a book about justice. The crime and those directly involved in the case are all imaginary, but the historical characters, venues, and events described in the book are very real. The challenge for me was how to integrate and weave into the narrative the rich historical detail concerning the political, social, and racial themes that drive the story while still maintaining the pace and suspense of the storytelling.
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.
