Hello everyone!
I haven’t been posting very much (i.e. not at all) but I have been writing. Editing, at least. I entered Pitch Wars in September and am nervously awaiting results on November third. Obviously I would love to get in, but I do have a plan in place if I don’t. I applied for a mentorship from We Need Diverse Books ( https://diversebooks.org/ ) (don’t worry, you’re allowed to enter both programs!) and there’s still time to apply for one if you want to do that. It sounds like a great opportunity!
If I get neither (which, to be realistic, is the most likely) I am planning on doing a sixth draft with some beta reader input and then moving on to a first round of queries. I feel like I have a pretty solid query but my book could use a bit more polishing and tightening, and of course that’s just as important as a good query.
In the meantime, I am keeping on top of college and bouncing around new novel ideas in my head, so we’ll see what comes next!
I may try to do some book reviews soon (with pretty book pictures!) so keep an eye out for that.
Thanks for reading!
