This week I said goodbye to a part of my career that I loved, but obviously needed to leave behind. I made some very good friends, some which are staying with me through the transition, and some that probably won’t. I haven’t had the courage to go back to the inbox to read what they’ve replied.<\/p>\n
3Sides Literary Agency is officially closed.<\/p>\n
There were many reasons why I made this decision, besides the obvious financial one. Despite best efforts to stay out of somebody’s crosshairs, I was right in it and a personal vendetta took a chunk out of my business that I couldn’t replace. That’s fine, as they say, Karma is a bitch. Crow pie is best served cold, and all that. I can sit and bide the time and continue to some things that I love – writing, working with the wonderful folks at Apex and Lachesis, writing some more, reading some damn fine work from all over the place and to be entirely redundant, writing.<\/p>\n
Waiting and watching from the sidelines – and continue to tell the hard, cold, painful truth when I’m asked. That’s all I can do…well, that and a new project. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
A while back I was talking to Louise Bohmer about editing. She and I both freelance, and have positions with Lachesis Publishing as well. After I’d come to the final decision on 3Sides fate, I spoke to her again… and then invited she and Jeremy Seffens (also freelancing and working for Lachesis) to come along into my little venture.<\/p>\n
