Offered a Publishing Contract

“The way of a fool is right in her own eyes, but a wise woman listens to advice.” Proverbs 12:15

           It’s true; I received a publishing offer for my memoir, Finding Home with The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Billy Graham. This is very exciting, as it’s pretty tough to even get a publishing house to peruse your manuscript if they’ve never heard of you.  I’m thrilled that I even have an offer to consider.
But as the proverb above states, I’d be a fool if I didn’t take wise counsel from lawyers and experts in the publishing field on whether the contract I’ve been offered is fair and will promote my hard work to the best that it can.
I’ve been known to be impulsive, but I don’t want to be on this matter. I want to chew on the advice of people smarter than me. And I want to listen for the Spirit of wisdom.  So these days, I get up early.  I think, pray and write… and as Anne Lamott likes to say, “More will be revealed in time.”
