Ready to Submit

Well, that's not technically true. My manuscript is now with my beta readers and awaiting feedback.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that. It is in good hands. I think what I really want is for my beta readers to enjoy reading my book. I want them to enjoy the story and feel as if they want to know what happens next.

I hope I've created intriguing characters that draw my betas in and help them to connect with the story. That's what I'm hoping.

My Next Job

So now, it's to research publishers and find out the submissions guidance for contemporary middle grade science fiction.

I have read my story to children who are not quite in the age group I've aimed it at and they've enjoyed it. I think.

That's what I'm doing at the moment, anyway. Researching. Plus the day job.

Wish me luck!
