Besides the standard manuscript, my agent wants to see my concept for enhancing the first 50 pages. Since it's a Civil War historical fiction I have links to a lot of photographs, maps of battles and even a song here and there where appropriate. I'm going to be interested to see what the reaction of editors to this will be. I believe the future of publishing belongs to the innovative.Bob Mayerhttp://www.whodareswinspublishing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-23574595971622545842011-01-19T19:21:36.223-05:002011-01-19T19:21:36.223-05:00Hank: my wife does think of me as an idiot savant,...Hank: my wife does think of me as an idiot savant, with strong tendencies towards the idiot.Simon Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06471742491394830379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-37067514138489954192011-01-19T18:46:19.588-05:002011-01-19T18:46:19.588-05:00To answer the title of the post ... yes, of course...To answer the title of the post ... yes, of course, he's completely bonkers!

I can hold a lot of junk in my head from different POVs before I write it. I'm usually mulling stories way before I write them.

I'm copying the interview and sending it to my friend, the film-maker. <br /><br />We did a short film for my last book, which was really just a trailer and from the same point of view.
