Children's book author Madeleine L'Engle was in her 40s
when her children's fantasy novel A Wrinkle in Time was finally
published. Originally rejected by 26 publishers, it won the Newberry Award. The
book is a perennial bestseller.
Bob Guiney sold his inspirational memoir, The Funny Guy from The Bachelorette, to Amy Hertz for Tarcher/ Putnam after
she sat behind him on an airplane. That's why it pays to talk about your book everywhere. His memoir was about being dumped by his wife,
gaining 40 pounds, auditioning for the Bachelorette and, though not winning the girl's hand, winning America's heart.
“I wrote to you shortly before BEA in an attempt to get information on what I should do to get publishers interested in my
self-published book. You told me to research the publishing houses and see which ones best fit my book. Well, I picked the top 24 and
made press kits for those publishers. I also passed out business cards, brief bios, and a run down on what my book was about. Anyways,
long story short, when I got back, I sorted through several offers and finally came to terms with a Kensington Books. Thanks for all
your help and for your 1001 Ways to Market
Your Books.” — Love, Kisses, and Trailer Park Wishes, Ruby Ann Boxcar
