If you’ve just typed “THE END” on your manuscript…

First of all — congrats 🥳

Second — don’t self-publish it tomorrow.

It needs fresh eyes.

That’s literally what I do.

Writers — quick question:

What’s harder for you right now?

A) Plot
B) Pacing
C) Character depth
D) Ending

Drop a letter 👇

Most first drafts don’t fail because of bad writing.

They fail because:

Stakes aren’t clear
The middle drags
Characters react instead of act

Beta readers catch this before readers do.

There are GALLEYS OF MY DEBUT!

The emotions I felt when I first held my book (and still feel every time I look at the galleys on my shelf) were…I don’t even know. A lot. A jumbled up mix of a whole freaking lot. 1/4
