Books
Here’s a peek at the stories I’m creating and where they are in the journey to readers’ hands.
Stories In The Making
Every book starts as a spark!
Drafting: For me, story ideas usually begin with a character. I love imagining up silly characters full of quirky vibes. From there, I think of the problem they face and let the ideas flow. My favorite part of drafting is that it’s supposed to be messy and full of possibility!
Editing: Once the bones of a story are down, I polish. This means tightening the humor, trimming extra words, and cutting the clutter so the story feels smooth, fun, and page-turn-worthy. Editing is also the stage of teamwork! I use beta readers, critique partners, and make sure that I have lots (and lots!) of openness to change.
Querying: This stage is when a manuscript is ready to head out into the world of literary agents. It’s all about pitching the story, finding the right champion for it, and crossing my fingers that someone else falls in love with it the way I have.
On Submission: When an agent loves a story enough to send it to editors, it’s officially “on submission.” And…hopefully making its way through a publishing house to find its home on a bookshelf near you!
