Date: 2011-06-09 11:20 pm (UTC)There are very well-known publishers like Cleis, but there are three times as many lesser knowns that require a lot of research, and I'm bad at research. I used to place orders for a book store several years ago, and I got to know some of the pitfalls, so that makes me extra cautious. And with publishing evolving so quickly into ebooks and all... I'm kind of overwhelmed.
I have a feeling your novel would go over very well. My series has a bit of a metaphysical aspect to it, though I wouldn't call it fantasy. Maybe I just hate labels altogether!
I've been watching Game of Thrones and while I think it's a bit of a laughable crapfest, it's breaking ground and I secretly love it. The relationship between the King's brother and his literal knight in shining armor intrigues me. We definitely need more of that.
