I’m posting this short update to follow up on an important announcement from my relaunch.
As I mentioned, I’m currently preparing the manuscript for a collection of my faith-centric sci-fi/fantasy/comicbook essays. I decided to reach out to a friend of mine who works in Catholic publishing to see if there would be any interest in my book at his outlet…
Unfortunately, the answer was no. The primary mark against the book, from the perspective of traditional publishing, is that most of the chapters would consist of material already available online. I had hoped that the essays exclusive to the book would offset this, but no such luck. Honestly, I understand where they’re coming from. Yes, I do feel discouraged, but I am also confident that I can find an audience for this book if I self-publish it.
Please keep me in your prayers as I move forward with the manuscript. Over the next four to six weeks, I’ll be researching and writing all the original essays. I plan to officially announce the title of the book on this newsletter once the working draft nears completion.
Until we meet again, “the Road goes ever on…”
