Afternoon all,
It’s dark already and it is only 6:00p.m London time, autumn has truly set in. So, you probably remember I wrote a story for a anthology called Code Redhead- A Serial Novel, with thirteen other great authors. My old publisher donated the sales revenue to charity for a year, I was thrilled to use my passion to write to help a charity cause and raise money for cancer, this was in 2016 … remember? Good. Well I checked my contact and it has expired, I’ve decided not to republish my work as a standalone under them, I now I have my rights back over my work. So what does this mean?… Instead I will revamp this story a bit then it will be book #1 of another romance series I have in mind. e.g. my new release! As well as my Romance Set In Paradise series, I want to write a some romance novellas set in cities around the world… more like ‘sin in the city’ to be exact,these stories will be a little steamy. 🙂
I was going to send my work out on query to other publishers and agents, then after some thought I realised as it has already been published once (and I don’t plan to re-write the whole story I rather like it as it is, I’ll just expand it as the word limit all authors had for the anthology was only 13,000… tiny!) Most publishers won’t republish in this case, as some of it has already been published once… never mind I’m happy to do my own thing! This one will be a self-publish to kick off the series.
Right now, I looking for Beta Readers to add to my list I already have. I wish to send out a draft of this short steamy novella over the next few weeks, once I’ve combed over it, Beta Reader feedback would be great. If you’d like to Beta Read a free copy of book #1 of my ‘Sin in The City’ romance series then contact me here. Send me an email via ‘contact Kim’ and let me know. I am not a touchy writer, ( which you probably know already if you have followed me for some time). I don’t need praise I need some honest feedback even if it’s “Kim this is shit… because.” I have thick skin, so don’t think I want praise, I want honest feedback to better the reading experience, based on your reading experience of the draft before publishing. That said if your feedback is ” Kim this is great,” then I’ll dust off my shoulders, do a happy dance and continue to spin some sinful romance for this series.
Thank you! I’d love some help 🙂
