I have sent samples of my book chapters and other required info to ONE publisher. I talked to the marketing guy on the phone and once I told him what the book was about, he seemed quite interested. It fits the genre of books that they publish.

But, do I go ahead and send the same info to two more publishers??

Do different publishers offer different royalties?? Is it wise to hear what three have to say rather than one??

School boards are so afraid of someone being offended. Yes, I know that the word "n*gger" is used repeatedly by Huck in reference to the slave Jim. Well, duh! Considering the time and place the book was set in, is he really going to refer to him as "African-American"?

And all the talk about Samuel Clemens (pen name - Mark Twain) being a racist; in fact, Clemens was a staunch abolitionist (that is, wanting to do away with slavery, for those of you who don't pay attention during your history class). The book was written in first person from Huck's point of view using Huck's persona, NOT that of Mr. Clemens.

The school library will keep copies of Seventeen (with articles on "should I sleep with my boyfriend?" and "the positives of masturbation"), but they refuse to keep this American classic on the shelves.

What's wrong with this picture?
