Hello....again.

[Paul V]

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...

Cheers
Rachel

Hi. I seem to remember something about not posting links, or did I dream that bit?! Anyway, if you search Isobel by Aden James on Amazon UK, you'll find it. It's free on Kindle Unlimited if you have it

Hi Rachel. I hope you're well. To be honest, the opening was pants! 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.... 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

 

[Ancora Imparo]

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.
