So I submitted the book to the lawyer for the estate, got the license, and after numerous submissions to publishers, etc., I contacted the lawyer again about my latest rewrite, and he suggested MX Publishing, which specializes in Holmes-related books. So . . . the book is going to be published in June! My head is still spinning.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846834032309178013.post-34694262063403951772015-03-17T08:23:35.941-04:002015-03-17T08:23:35.941-04:00I agree Jess, she is an amazing writer!

I met my first publisher at book event. I think meeting her in person was one of the key factors to her accepting the manuscript I submitted later. We both entered that relationship knowing how serious we were about the business of writing.
