Today went to the annual Vale Square party - where we meet lots of interesting people, get drunk with them, swear undying love and see them again next year. On this occasion we met a couple we've met before - and I discovered that she is a publisher - is setting up her own publishing company,,, would like to see my book. On the one hand, I feel I ought to be jumping for joy - but I am feeling a bit wary - she's a very new publisher... doesn't have much of a track record - how would she promote my book etc.? Still, I'm sending her the pdf... and see how she likes it. I'm not entirely sure of the etiquette - given that the Agent has the work... but I suppose I can't do it any harm... if she wants to make me an offer, and no one else does? It's not as though we've got into a sort of rights fight over it yet...
Have had the awful cynical thought that having a publisher - however small - "interested" in the work - means that there's a sort of bargaining chip... well, it's all good anyway.
