Hey writers! I am prepping to self publish my book after years of writing and editing! I have two draft covers I have made, but which should I use for a YA Mixed Mythology novel. Should I use (A) the eye and crescent or (B) the stolen and broken idol? #selfpublish #writing #cover #publish #poll

Just finished my final edit of The Stolen Idol! I sent it to the actress who is narrating the audiobook version for her to do a personal reading before her work begins!

Now to get started on the self publishing process through Ingram Spark for the print version!

Rewrote my synopsis so it's exactly 1,000 words instead of 1,600. Hopefully it helps with the next query submission!

Write it. No one else is going to write it, so you are by definition, the only person who can do it justice.

I'd like to dedicate this book to my daughters, without them this book would have been finished years earlier.

I'm fairly confident in my pitch letter. I'm not getting obvious form rejections anymore and it's been revised, rewritten, critiqued, revised, stressed over, and revised. I just want to be proactive! I don't like just waiting!!!

I got a rejection where the agent said they went back and forth and strongly considered the novel (so close!), but they didn't have a clear vision on how to market. What do you do to help prospective agents in this area? Better comp titles? Blog post on author site with a plan?

Chapter One
The rain made it easier to rob his grave.
My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night’s whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us.
Us.
As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth.
