She decided to start reaching out to small presses, and soon came across Aberdeen Bay in Alexandria, Virginia. Following her experience, Sharples offers two pieces of advice to authors hoping to publish their work traditionally:</p> <p>1. Do not deviate from the publisher&rsquo;s guidelines. Sharples had to follow a specific set of instructions to be considered by Aberdeen Bay.</p> <p>2. Find a publisher that is already publishing books like yours. This can increase your chance of getting published by a certain press, as it did for Sharples.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-29/MadelineSharplesonGettingaPublishingDealforHerNovelPapasShoes.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../MadelineSharplesonGettingaPublishingDealforHerNovelPapasShoes.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, video, Historical Fiction</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/publishing/traditional-publishing/w/submission-process/7453/madeline-sharples-on-getting-a-publishing-deal-for-her-novel-papa-s-shoes/revision/1Fri, 23 Aug 2019 13:43:28 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:f4aa5066-27ea-4bd9-92b9-3e5e521ea5f7Madeline Sharpleshttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/publishing/traditional-publishing/w/submission-process/7453/madeline-sharples-on-getting-a-publishing-deal-for-her-novel-papa-s-shoes#commentsRevision 1 posted to Submission Process by Madeline Sharples on 8/23/2019 1:43:28 PM<br /> <p>Historical fiction author and memoirist Madeline Sharples discusses how she got connected with a small press for her novel <em>Papa&#39;s Shoes</em>.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-29/MadelineSharplesonGettingaPublishingDealforHerNovelPapasShoes.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../MadelineSharplesonGettingaPublishingDealforHerNovelPapasShoes.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, video, Historical Fiction</div>
