Thank you both!<BR/><BR/>(Also, Sugar, just FYI on Firefox v.2.0 the text of your posts overlaps with the right sidebar and makes it hard to read.

I signed a deal to promote my book, Organize Now!, after sending the manuscript out to only 10 publishers. I believe this was due to the fact that I included a letter that explained how I already self-published the book as a smaller version and sold it on my website for two years. Publishers like to see that authors are willing to work and have the connections to spread the word!
