Had my 1st #Nebulas2020 panel on getting published with small presses with @AJFitzwater @heatherosejones @SpaceLawyerSF and @Ellethevillain Wanted to share some of the stuff I noted down.
Before you sign w/a small press - talk to ppl they& #39;ve published, ask about the experience before/during/after, including marketing. Look for someone who is ENTHUSED about your work.
Communication is absolutely key. Make sure you know what you can expect of the press -- and what they expect of you.
You -will- have to do some of the marketing in all probability. Well before your book comes out, figure out what your resources are. Again, SFWA provides some there. https://www.sfwa.org/2016/02/25/10-ways-sfwa-can-help-promote-your-new-book-2/">https://www.sfwa.org/2016/02/2...
I& #39;m so proud of many of the small press books I& #39;ve worked with, including the one currently on the Nebula ballot, and it& #39;s awesome to see people qualifying for SFWA membership with small press credentials.
