Hello from NYC
Hi All,
I'm a research librarian by day and a writer by night. My first novel is being published in October as an ebook so I look forward to learning and sharing info along the way! Cheers, Stanford |

Tell us a bit more about your ebook. Are you self-publishing, or working with an existing publisher? ______ Dennis |

Thanks everyone!
Dennis, to answer your question, I'm working with the publishing house Scott & Nix, Inc. Until this year they published only non-fiction - mostly nature books. But with the affordability that comes with doing ebooks they are now able to extend into fiction. A win-win scenario! |

Still, I have to love an imprint that emphasizes design, and one of their links (not working, alas) is for the typefaces they use and where to purchase the fonts. (I was a designer before I became a computer geek.) How did you happen to wind up working with them? ______ Dennis |

We had several mutual friends in the publishing world, plus I had helped them a few years back on a project.
Charles Nix designs a lot of great typefaces and is chair of the Type Directors Club in NYC. I'll ask them about that broken link. |
