[Ipg-smz] I'm PUBLISHED!

[Dennisf63]

I do want to make it very clear that this is the FIRST book I have ever 
self published. Most of them were flat fee, no royalties.

That said, back in the 70s it was a lot easier to get published, really 
by a publisher published, than it is today. I got paid $500 for my first 
porn novel, got up to as much as $750 for them. I typed the first draft, 
my wife edited and retyped a clean copy and off it went. I even had one 
editor that paid me in advance once when $$ were tight.

Sidebar: The fringe benefits of that arrangement made for a lively 
marriage, but it was all fiction. Regardless of what I wrote Peggy and I 
were together for 50 years and we never strayed.
I did have a rather liberated old aunt I sent a book to and she said we 
must have a very interesting marriage. We did, just the two of us.

Fastest turnaround? I think it was maybe 9 days from my first key stroke 
to the post office.
