This is Arthur Valentino the pastrychef from Cleveland we're talking about ?

...I'm stoked !! If you're published, we might have to re-name you 3895 or Helen !

Holy heck! I'm so proud of you, D!

Kevy Baby · 10-25-2006, 08:00 PM

Tres cool! Congrats!

Congratulations!

Thanks! I'm really stoked, this is just a first step. It's a crapshoot and the likelihood of actually getting a contract is really slim (I'm trying ot be a realist).

That said, I do have a back up plan, I've also found a vanity press division of Random House that does fine quality photo books. Yeah, it will cost me 3k to self publish, but if that is what it's going to take to get it out there, so be it. I'm grateful to have an option to go that route.

So, now prepping the proposal and materials for the agent to start submitting. Everyone, please keep your fingers crossed for me, it's going to be a tough road!

Congrats!

That is exciting! I know that just getting an agent that feels the project is worth his time is a good thing!

Good luck!!

AWESOME! Congratulations!

I am a struggling writer myself, and hearing people who have gotten one step closer in their dream has inspired me to go after mine.

Congratulations! What a great experience you are going to have.
