I’m five months from the publication date of my first novel and agree with “I had no idea how important editors are …” In my case, I would include the importance of agents. I knew they were a required part of the process of getting a book into print. What I didn’t understand was how crucial they are to making a good book into a better book. I’m thankful that I somehow managed to convince Jenna Satterthwaite and Jess Verdi to invest some of their time in bringing Murder Two Doors Down to the world.
Thanks for sharing, it's reassuring no author journey is the same 😁. Loved your intro too - that's me! I thought I was the only one who enjoys getting absorbed in stories about people I don't know 😂
Love your story, and your honesty...I'm certainly on a longer path than you to publication of my non-fiction narrative memoir, but I will keep at it! I too want to know what that phone-call from my agent feels like..... ☺️

Yes, I totally agree! Everyone is different but my agent is worth her weight in gold!

Ohh, love reading another writer's journey!
Am also fascinated by you raging against "the coast of ketchup" - that sounds like somewhere I'd like to visit, but probably only for a day.
Haha I mean normally only a few of my friends read these so my proof reading is lax!
Mine are always littered with typos - thank goodness for copy editors and proof readers!
Yes! Though mine are long suffering. Thank goodness indeed!
I appreciate you sharing what it can look like in the background. Thank you.
You're so welcome!
Love the journey, Rebecca. I think it’s so fascinating to see how different this looks for each person. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! And you're really welcome!
Love this!
Thanks Kathryn!
Congratulations, Becca. Here's to The Next Chapter. And lots more!
Thank you lovely Jo ❤️
Thanks for this, Rebecca. Looking forward to reading your next book. 📖
Ah that's really kind Liz, thank you!
