Publisher's Corner

The Wild Rose Press

The Wild Rose Press was started on May 1, 2006, by two writing critique partners, RJ Morris and Rhonda Penders.

Their premise for Wild Rose Press was to provide a “kinder and gentler” publishing company where authors would be treated with respect, concern, and understanding. RJ and Rhonda wanted a publishing company that didn’t make authors wonder what was happening with their manuscripts. They also believed that no one should ever again receive a form rejection letter.

The Plot Coagulates

Plot: a secret plan or scheme to accomplish some purpose; especially a hostile, unlawful, or evil purpose.

Hostile? Unlawful? Evil? (Me? Only if ya ask my ex-husbands. Sorry, already off-track.) Okay. Guess I’d better defer to definition number two.

Book Video Trailers

Previews of Literary Attractions

he term trailer, as applied to those flash floods of celluloid excitement that wash over us in the dark prior to the feature presentation, is already a misnomer. It doesn’t trail, rather it precedes. When Hollywood started making these advertisements for future productions a hundred years ago (yes!), they were stitched to the end of Saturday matinees.

HARVEST HOUSE PUBLISHERS

By now we are well into 2009, with the holidays already pushed out of our thoughts by the demands of our daily lives. But I would like to state the sincere hope that your New Year will be filled with goodness and joy, despite the challenges we all face in these difficult times.
