I’m excited to announce the first draft of Quiver and Arrow is finished!
What happens next?
Nothing. I let the story sit for a few months. Then, I format it using Reedsy (they have a brilliant, free formatting tool) and read it like it’s a normal book. I find the fallow period combined with the change in formatting helps me spot errors more easily.
After that, I’ll submit Quiver and Arrow to my publisher to see if they think it’s got any merit.
And the rest of the Mirrordom Trilogy?
Venom and Blaze will need edited nearer to its publication date. And then begins the fun bits, like choosing a cover and promoting the story. The same process will happen with City and Shadow.
Will there be any other books in the Mirrordom Universe?
Let’s not rule anything out. I do have a novella planned, but that’s not progressed beyond a scribbled note in my journal.
What else is in the pipeline?
I’m writing a psychological novel for adults, purely for my own pleasure. I’m also working on another YA novel, completely unrelated to Mirrordom.
And then there will be all the work of promotion, engaging with readers, approaching booksellers and, hopefully, achieving my dream of getting Venom and Blaze into Waterstones!
What am I reading?
At the moment, I’m reading The Toll by Neal Shusterman – the last in the Arc of a Scythe trilogy. I’m absolutely loving his work. I’m also still reading The Dark Queen by Dana Gricken. I’ll be writing reviews on both when I’m done.
Are you reading anything riveting? I’d love to hear all about it.
