04.01.2022 Worst part of being authors? The wait! Write a story, submit to editors. Wait. Submit to agent. Wait. They submit to publishers. Wait. Get accepted, sign a contract. Wait. Get back editing, enjoy working with your teams. Wait. Publish and launch. Wait. Shortlist for some awards (maybe) and sales start. Wait. Awards annouced. Wait. Royalties. Wait... Obviously big love to our editor, agent, publishers, award judges, book sellers and readers... But holy heck there is a lot that... goes on before the pretty book on the shelf! And we want to just share all our stories with you now lol A Worded Life Editing Alex Adsett Agent Magabala Books team Hachette team Black&Write! team Just to name a few bringing some of our books to life!
