Did they pay you any advance?Emerging Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539530495238043923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684536971172270103.post-34335902200774261962009-10-19T10:08:30.901+01:002009-10-19T10:08:30.901+01:00Hi Kate, this is the first year Salt have run this...Hi Kate, this is the first year Salt have run this prize. I'm a Salt author, and my book is published worldwide as well as the UK and Australia. Salt make beautiful, beautiful books, but the marketing is mostly down to the authors. I wasn't based in the UK or the US so I had to do a lot online and things seems to have gone very well. I don't have sales figures yet, though, but I think these days, whichever publisher you are with, the author has to do a lot of "legwork", whether in person or virtually! I highly recommend Salt, they really love their authors and care passionately about great writing. Good luck!Tania Hershmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781460794034586895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684536971172270103.post-62773937041301131992009-10-18T20:03:45.558+01:002009-10-18T20:03:45.558+01:00I think I'd need another couple of stories.
