Do you have a blog/thread that tackles the dos and donts on sending a manuscript to publishing companies? Like how many chapters should we include on the first mail.

@jennaration Nope, but for that specific query, your best bet is the publisher's website as they will have specific guidelines. There's no across-the-board industry standard.

Hi. I'm reading your articles about publication and stuff and just wanted to ask your advice/take on/opinion if there is a thing called termination of Exclusive writer contract? Is it plausible? And if it is, how to do such thing? Thank you.

@Chenaciousley There are situations when any contract can be rescinded or voided, but it's impossible to say in a vacuum. Some contracts also have their own internal conditions that could result in a termination -- you'd need to show that contract to a lawyer and discuss the specifics. (Not me though ^_^)

hello po. ask ko lang kung saan makaka-avail ng Alternative Alamat? Wala po kase dito sa may amin. Taga-Binondo po ako and I tried checking sa SM Manila at Lucky Chinatown Mall, parehong wala. Nung MIBF po nagpunta ako sa pwesto ng Visprint pero sold out na daw sabi ni ateng tindera. yun lang po thanks.

Hello! Salamat sa interest sa Alternative Alamat! Kaso, di ko ho alam ang specfics ng kung saan pang branch and may stock. Kung may Twitter ho kayo, nagrereply naman ang NBSalerts sa mga inquiry. Itatanong ko rin :)

Wow! Nakita ko din po kayo. :-)  Salamat po sa paggawa ng rocketkapre. Isa po ang site ninyo na sa mga references ko sa aking story. Ang hirap mag-pool ng resources for Philippine mythology kaya't salamat for providing one for all of us. God bless po. :-)

@PaoloChikiamco I will look into it. Salamat po sa rocketkapre, kung hindi dahil doon ay hindi ko nagawa ang on-going story ko, ang Dayanghirang. Salamat :-)
