You are right - I should pass that publisher name along to him!Leah (aka Mary_not_Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08912083158121035192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500222591191413414.post-44865944794821876722011-01-31T08:28:17.637-07:002011-01-31T08:28:17.637-07:00If he is in desperate need of the money, then not ...If he is in desperate need of the money, then not much can replace the security that having the money now would provide. However, he needs to be aware that while there is no guarantee of it selling independently later, if it were to, he would be able to continue earning money for the rest of his life. That would provide ongoing security.<br /><br />There has to be a reason that this man is so interested in getting his hands on the book, even unfinished. I would imagine it must be pretty good to garner that much interest. If he is not in dire need of the money now, I personally would advise him to finish it and then try to connect with a publishing company on his own. <br /><br />Thank-you for stopping by my blog today, you are always so sweet and I really appreciate you as a reader!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575177165602435907noreply@blogger.com
