Author of The Fever
Q: Why write this book? What inspired you? And why were you, perhaps, the person compelled to write it?
A: Once I learned about what happened in the two Virginia cities in 1855, I could hardly believe that something this devastating had occurred, and very few people knew about it. Few realized that this rarely covered part of the US was the nation’s focus during that summer, much like all eyes were on New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina or Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.
We publish two ways.
Traditional Publishing
- This option is normally only for seasoned writers (with or without an agent) with superb work and a verifiable track record of sales and marketing success. The term traditional means that the author will not pay for any development costs or fees, and will typically be offered an advance payment on royalties.
Hybrid/Co-Publishing
- This option is best for emerging writers with high-quality work desiring a professional-level publishing experience. Writers accepted into our Emerging Author Program are positioned to land a traditional deal on subsequent books. Those best suited for this program are motivated and collaborative, and receive the same level of editing, creative development and marketing as our traditional authors.
