Nic's talking about doing a limited POD run of "Plainsong". I'm wondering if he might not be right. But part of me wants to wait and see how the series does; if the publisher gets enough "Hey! This book, that you printed reviews of on the back! Where is it?" feedback, they may want it back. In which case, well.....heheheheh.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Raises hand.
I'd be good for a POD copy. IJS.

I actually wondered why you hadn't done that, Deb, and figured it was because the rights were sewn up/too expensive to get back.

Theo, the idea was that there might be a desire for someone else to buy it, in which case, the POD thing would be a legal issue.

That's the kind of thing that you could ask your agent about -- in some ways, an active POD for a book proves to a publisher that the rights are desirable, you can point to a measurable interest in a book. Plus, why would POD degrade the desirability of your copyright? You're issuing completely legal and legit copies of the book so long as you have the rights reverted to you, and if you then decide to lease them to a new publisher, it's much the same as if they adopted the book from another publisher -- it's not First World Rights or anything with "first" in the name, anyway.

Deb, any nibbles on Still Life?

Linda Marrow still has it. That's all I know. It hasn't been at the top of my conscious mind for the past couple of weeks....
