My newest book released yesterday, my fifth publication in less than a year.
Curses, Cats, and Crime: A Love Story, an #EnchantedRockImmortals novella (number 15 in the series.)
Writing a book is hard work. If authors do it right, the process seems easy. Here is what this novella went through to get to the point of release:
Draft written November 2020.
Vetted through my critique group, one chapter a week.
Sent to the Enchanted Rock Immortals team for review, to check for world-build continuity and an editorial read-through.
Revise, revise, revise.
Went through developmental edit with my editor.
Revise, revise, revise.
Order my book cover.
Write the dedication page, acknowledgements page, and back cover copy.
Send complete manuscript to the proofreader.
Revise, revise, revise.
Send to the formatter.
Check formatting for errors. Revise.
Upload the book for pre-order.
Upload the final manuscript.
Publicize the release.
RELEASE DAY!
Oh, and thank the people who helped support you on your journey. This is Curses, Cats, and Crime: A Love Story's Dedication Page.
Thank you, my sisters. ❤
