Peter has completed The Alzheimer’s Cure. A short synopsis of the book can be found elsewhere on this site. As always, Peter has written the book in English. The manuscript thereof was adopted in submissions to different literary agents in the US. The agents replying to these submissions were generally enthusiastic about its premise and the storyline. Peter signed an author contract with one of these. He approached several publishers and while their reply was favorable (in two cases exceptionally so), it didn’t result in an offer to publish the book for reasons other than the manuscript itself. Peter sought advice on how to proceed, which resulted in submitting the manuscript to a few hybrid publishers. Hybrid publishing has become popular recently. On sharing some of the cost of editing, proofreading, cover design, and printing, the author is paid between 75 and 90% of net book-sale revenue. Traditional publishers work with net author revenues amounting to no more than 15%. Atmosphere Press were quick to respond, and a contract to publish not only The Alzheimer’s Cure, but also Removal of the President was signed within a week. The books will appear in print in early spring of 2025.
