Clarification on Sacred Vow at HarperCollins/London
C.G.
hello, all my dear friends!
For those of you who have been following my attempts to get Sacred Vow noticed by the HarperCollins/London editors, someone has brought something to my mind that I need to clarify.
No purchase is required.
Moving Sacred Vow to your bookshelf in Authonomy is not part of a purchase. Authonomy considers the move of a book to your bookshelf as a vote that the book should be considered for publishing.
I much appreciate your support. Mostly through support here in Gaia, Sacred Vow has
gone up to #12 (up almost 700 places) in the last two weeks. Thank you---I am very grateful.
Unfortunately, the upward progression has stopped. Some folks thought a purchase was required, sometimes Sacred Vow ended up in people's watchlist (not used as a vote for publishing) rather than the Bookshelf.--my first instructions stepped through the watch list
Before the end of September, Sacred Vow needs to go inside the top 5 books to be considered by the editors for this round. As best I can figure, that appears to mean we need about 40 more people to move Sacred Vow to its bookshelves.
If you have not done so already, and will consider adding your support, here is an easy way to add a book to your bookshelf:
If you register on the site (create a profile on http://www.authonomy.com/ ), and search for Sacred Vow---you can read all 15 chapters any time you wish.
Once you have the page up with the Sacred Vow book cover, notice that to the right of the page there is a column with several options, one of which is "Back this book", please click that --this adds Sacred Vow to your bookshelf and could result in a foreign rights publisher for Sacred Vow.
Please check your profile page afterwards, ensuring that the Sacred Vow cover shows in your Bookshelf.
If you have time, make a comment on Sacred Vow by going to this page

the comment box is below the book description.
Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!!! for all your support and efforts to help me move this book forward.
Love and blessings, dear ones,

Woooohooo for the rush to the top! We need to keep the momentum going….yes!

Big blessings!
Aley
yay for Sacred Vow - there's a lot of undiluted positive energy focused on you!
Thank you Aley and Anna…..I feel the power of this wonderful support. And I am very grateful.
Sunday afternoon Authonomy did some kind of reorganization/recalibration of their rating system. As a result, Sacred Vow has dropped to #28. I have not figured out what they have changed, many books dropped in ranking.
I know that Authonomy actually pitches authors to get friends and family to join and vote for a book, so I will continue to rely on my friends here while interacting within Authonomy also.
Blessed Monday to you both, dear ones,

Oh my goodness, whoever realized it's so challenging to get a book published and out in the world? You know I'm rooting for you….and it seems like so many others are here, too. Just keep us informed what we need to do, and we'll be there for you. Blessings, CG! We'll just have to keep that image of Sacred Vow in the hands and thoughts and hearts of thousands and thousands of people….
Thank you, Kathy! –yes, my friends here in Gaia have been great, a real blessings.
As for getting a book 'published'–meaning in print, available for sale–that's work enough, but getting it through to the wide market (esp. visionary fiction), well that has been quite the tale in itself.
–but I would rather focus on your wonder image of “that image of Sacred Vow in the hands and thoughts and hearts of thousands and thousands of people….”
love and blessings, dear friend,
