[Spotlight Post] Yard Dog Press

Posted by reudaly on December 14, 2012 in Books, Spotlight, Writing |

Today is Friday. It’s a Spotlight Day. And actually, I’m going to make it a whole Publishing House. There are four days in which to order to have delivery of anything by Christmas. And though this is kinda of last minute — if you’re looking for books for someone who likes science fiction but don’t want to get the same old, same old…

My I suggest YARD DOG PRESS

I’ve done a lot of work with Yard Dog in my 10+ years of publishing. They are my major publisher. They were my first publisher. And I look forward to working with them for many more years to come.

WHY? Because Yard Dog really is more than just publisher – so much more. Yard Dog has launched so many writing careers – like mine. We are a family. Some may laugh – but Selina does go out of her way to teach new writers how to behave at conventions. If someone in our house “shows our butt” at a convention – we’re called out on it (professionally). And we’re better professionals for it – as one who’s stumbled a time or two – I appreciate her efforts. I’ve learned SO MUCH about how to and how NOT to be a good writer on a panel, a convention, and as a writer from Selina and others at YDP.

Selina is a fantastic editor. She doesn’t suggest anything that doesn’t make the story better. I’ve heard stories of editors asking/demanding changes to a story to make it either the story the editor thought the story SHOULD BE or the story they would’ve written. I’ve NEVER – not once – seen or heard Selina do that. She does help the writer get the best story possible out of what the author wrote (and sometimes probably MEANT to write).

Yard Dog doesn’t do “mainstream”. All the experimental, edgy, funny, Different stuff you think isn’t in a bookstore anymore? It’s over at YDP. I love telling readers at conventions that Yard Dog has everything from Humor to Horror – Hard SF to Magical Fantasy … sometimes all in the same book. And it’s true. Not sure what you want or who you might like? We’ll point out one of several anthologies. Why? Because despite mainstream opinion – anthologies CAN and do make money – AT YARD DOG. I love working with a variety of authors on a range of topics this way.

So… not sure what to get? Check out the site and please – buy from the site. There are ebooks on Amazon and Smashwords, but we all get more money if you purchase directly from the publisher. Yes, Amazon might becheaper but their huge cut makes it less for the rest of us. And we want to keep writing and producing great material for you.
