But yeah, I'm trying to chase the market for safety at this time--guess I'll stick to the grand project, the one I am most passionate about; even though the window is small. | |

Right now the standalone does seem like a better bet, but again, chasing the market is usually a fool's errand. In other words, write the book you're most passionate about. | |
| Dec 17, 2020 at 2:59 | comment | added | Minerva M.S. | Was giving it some more thought; would it be better to try pubbing this standalone under another pen name? But I don't know what a bigger publisher would think of it. Of course, the standalone fails, I won't bring it up to the bigger publisher. | |
