Long time lurker de-lurks!

I've been lucky enough to have been offered and signed a contract with an e-publisher in the US for my romance novel Only You.

I don't have an agent so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction regarding someone to ask advice about income from my novel which will be coming from the US. I know it won't be much but it's something I need to know e.g. the Artists Tax Exemption, should I apply for this? Should I just find myself an accountant? Should I join a writers association? And other equally boring stuff!

Thanks!

Hey Genie,

How come you never posted your writings here?

Too shy!

But I've got over myself now! I've been referred to as an Author a few times, now, and it did wonders for my self confidence!

To hell with "referred to", if you're being published then you *are* an author. Congratulations! Will we be seeing you contribute stuff to the forum?

I think EileenG has been through all this with her e-books. From memory it was a whole bunch of hassle. Maybe try a search or drop her a PM or wait until she shows up?
