I don't think I can give you a criteria as to how much rewriting would be necessary. You just have to be able to defend that it is a 'new' book and will get a new copyright and isbn number. That may differ from publisher to publiser but as part of the process they should know there was a previous version ev en at that.Terry Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526255183090554401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-69333002980088101962011-11-04T06:44:24.938-04:002011-11-04T06:44:24.938-04:00Thanks for the important info, Terry.

In the original story, it began in much the same way as it does now, with Amber and Lizi traveling down to Fort Worth, intent on conning their way into a well todo family and with Fox having lost all of his grandchildren, but the story headed of in the direction of a riff coming between Fox and his son Grayson because of how Grayson was running the family business. I decided I would like the story better the way it is now, with Amber giving the appearance that she intends to force Grayson to marry her and Fox becoming upset because Grayson appears to be falling for it, so Fox fears it will harm Grayson's relationship Celia and Fox's plans to merge his company with that of her father.<br /><br />In my mind they are the same story, but they are very different. If I had previously published the first story and then decided I wanted to see if publishers were interested in the second, how much change between the two would be required for it to be considered a new story?Timothy Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554064732811895577noreply@blogger.com
