This month I revised according to my developmental editor's feedback and did a second round of beta readers to check a few things. My two wonderful beta readers read over book 2 and gave me lots of great feedback to help me see what else I could fix or elaborate on. |

Today I finished a final read-through, and I'll send my manuscript to my copy editor soon. We're getting closer to a finished book! When I'm ready for ARC readers, you'll be the first to know and have a chance to sign up! I also worked on the back cover blurb and tagline. You all voted on Instagram for the tagline, and my CPs gave me some feedback too. Because of their feedback, I tweaked the winning tagline of the poll just a tad. So here it is . . . They’re destined to save the witches of Dark Boston, but they’ll need more than each other to prevent the city’s destruction. Thank you to all who voted and helped me decide the tagline! I truly appreciate your help. |
