A Writing Contract
In 2012, my book, The Chronicles of Mark Johnson, earned an award from a non-profit organisation in the USA.
At the time, I thought this was wonderful, even if it took months to accept the concept of me earning praise. In the aftermath, I would have given the award up for the opportunity to have earned a contract to write.
I did get invited to write for a publisher in Miami, Florida, but I didn't like the remit that anything goes, "but keep it legal," it didn't matter as for some reason they were closed down several months later.
The only other offers came from Vanity Publishing companies. This concept is they will publish your book, but you have to pay for the first book; if that succeeds you may get the offer for writing a second book under contract. If you are going to self-publish the first book, why giv the firm the praise for the second, when they had no faith in the first book?
