POD Success Story
When I talk about success as a print-on-demand author, I don't mean 
being able to sell 10,000 copies of your book. That is a success, of course, but it's rather difficult to achieve, what with the roadblocks present in marketing print-on-demand books. The kind of success I mean is, because of the fact that your book made it to market, it was noticed by the right person at the right time, and you wind up with, at the very least a chance to talk to an agent and/or publisher and (at the most) get yourself a fancy New York publishing contract.
Over at POD-dy Mouth, there's an interview with Natalie R. Collins, who published her novel, SisterWife, with Booklocker in 2001, sold 400 copies, got noticed and now has a contract with St. Martin's Press.
When asked if she thought POD had anything to do with where she is today, Collins replies: No, without POD I would not be here. It's because of SISTERWIFE, and the route I took, that my editor noticed me and asked for something else I'd written.
