Hello All.
It's been awhile since I posted anything. I hope everyone is well and managing to stay safe in these awful times.
My first manuscript, Isobel, was on the Pop-Up Submissions a couple of years ago. The feedback was very helpful and I subsequently rewrote the opening chapters and had it professionally edited. I self published it on Amazon and it has done ok, with 2000+ downloads and some lovely reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. It even, very briefly and whilst free, hit the number 1 spot for downloads in the horror section :)
After a writing pause due to a long term family health issue and a project to build some bungalows, I'm carrying on with the sequel. Yay.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and that I'm excited to get back the fun of writing, editing, submitting, repeat...
 
Hi Paul V

I remember reading your opening :) I'm glad it's doing so well, welcome back :)

Cheers
Rachel
 
Hi Paul and welcome back. Hope things haven't gone too far downhill in your absence. :) I am encouraged by your sales. My book is launching today!!

Hi Rachel. I hope you're well. To be honest, the opening was pants! :rolleyes: I'd changed it so many times previously on the advice of many others, that what I submitted to Pop-ups was nothing like my first idea for the story. The feedback from here was much more clinical and useful. So I went back to diving straight into the action.

Hi Steve. Most 'sales' have been free downloads but that's fine. At the moment for me, I just want the book to be read and hopefully enjoyed by as many folks as possible. I'll make my millions from the sequel....:rolleyes: Best wishes for your book launch!
 
Hi Paul, welcome back. Nice to see you again.
Hi Barbara. Thank you. I hope you're well. I've frequently popped by the site to have a nosey. Just didn't feel I could contribute too much whilst focusing on family and the build project. I'll be hassling you all for advice now though ;)

I actually remember it more from the Writing Groups. It was right around the time I discovered Litopia, so I think I missed you on Pop Ups :)
 
Welcome back, Paul. Glad you found us again. Looks like you know most of the ropes here already, so I'll just say I look forward to seeing you around the Colony :) And I'll definitely check out your book, too.
 
Hello Paul,

I think I may have not been around when you were last here but great to see you returning to the Colony again.

Welcome back.
 
Hi. I seem to remember something about not posting links, or did I dream that bit?!
Aha, we now have a designated area here in the colony, called the Marketplace, where you can list and link your book:


So get it in there. :) Any probs uploading, let me know

Thanks Barbara. I'll give it awhile before peddling the book. :)
