Off to the publishers!

After months of kicking around my artwork and tinkering with my manuscript (kindly edited by my father), I have finally put together seven submission packets. Why seven? No particular reason, really, but I plan on making three more for a nice, round ten. Among the list of publishers are some big names, some small names, and some tiny names, but I will be happy with even an acknowledgment by any of them. All of the books on publishing have prepared me for rejection. I'm ready for it, but I refuse to take no for an answer. Someone will publish "The Sun Is Hiding", I just know it.
