Dear prayers!
I am a christian German author and I am so frustrated.
Please pray for my!
Half a year ago, a small publisher shows so an overwelming intereset at my script (900 pages), that I was doubtful, even if they immediatley talked about the conditions and the time, they want to publish that. I should not send my script to another....
Two days later they said, in this way it is not possible. I had to change the POV - from omniscient narrotor to third person. It took me three month, after one month I sent them the first 80 pages and they said - good, go on this way. At the end I send the changed script and split it in two scripts, as they wished, first part: 700.000 characters.
I asked them to give me an anwers or I want to give it to a literary agent.
They send me a contract including all rights of furhter novels and the contract said: the script (of part one) is already handed out. We signed and I was happy, waiting for the editorial office to send my script back with the common things to change.
BUT!: The send me just an E-mail, that they could not work with that and I have to cancel all the other POV's (I had more than 3, but they knew that) and the volume had to be reduced from 700.000 to 550.000 characters.
After a call I find out, they not even read my whole script, only 70 pages+synopsis!
That changes the way I wanted to write (more like a saga and not just focus on the couple) and erase many scene's because of that and the limited characters. Besides this I think I need 2-3 month and the publishing date is in danger.
BUT that is my first contract! I worked so hard. I am more than frustred and feel deceived.

Please pray for me!
Yours

My prayer each day is that God use me to pray for those crying out "God have someone pray!"

I have you in my prayers, Miss Manuela. I can imagine how frustrating it must be to work so hard, and yet it doesn't seem to help. I prayer the Lord will give you peace and wisdom in this situation.
