Title: Racing Novel Finished...
Post by: K3 Chris Onwiler on June 24, 2004, 02:12:38 PM
Two years and a thousand hours later, I've finished my racing novel.  Now comes the hard part.  I've got to try to get the damn thing between covers.  Anybody out there happen to be a publisher?

Congratulations!  How fun!!!  

You may be interested in looking in to "print on demand" for your book.  Instead of massive amounts of a title being printed, it's printed according to order numbers.  I may have some more information at work.

Well, there is one character named Chester Thorne.  He rides an SV, talks a lotta smack, gets his @$$ handed to him in the big race, and is later convicted of unnatural acts with underage male farm animals...

Hmmm, I thought it was about roadracing, not about a pedophile that was into gay bestiality! Oh, yeah that's right... It is fiction after all! like the part that he loses the big race... ;D

I sent a copy of the novel off to the Library of Congress to apply for my copyright today.  I also sent a copy of one chapter to the publisher at Whitehorse Press.  WP exists exclusively to publish motorcycle titles, so they are my first, best hope for publication.  I think I'll go kill myself now... :-/

This is THE worst part....  It's like waiting for your test results back after your poured your heart and soul into it.

But no matter what the answer, just know that WE would all like to read it.
