How Are Things Going?


HOW ARE THINGS GOING?

I know it's been a long time since I wrote anything. I apologize for that. So I wanted to update you on some things that have been happening:

I have recently been working with a publicist who has been able to find me some interviews and reviews for the book. Such a great learning experience!

The Reading Bud - Interview With Mark Canniff

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. :)

In the meantime I'm currently working on book 2. (I'm at chapter 5 as I write this.)

I can already tell that the first draft of "When Night Has Fallen" is in much better shape than the first one.

I hope you'll like it.

I believe that I'm developing a team of people that I'll be able to go to as each novel comes along. Let me expand on it a little:

It is very important to have a:

Copy editor: Not all are created equal too, by the way. It maybe expensive but so worth it.

Proofreader: Awesome to have in your corner as well and a must. When you are looking for the above, see if they'll do the "proofreading". I think most will.

Developmental editor: This is new for me but I have found working with one really helps to "pop" the story out. They do not do spellchecks or grammar fixes. They are only interested in bringing out the best story that it can be.

Cover designer: Find a good one because they can really help you create an awesome look.

All of that can and will cost money. You might be able to find them in fiverr. There are some great people in there. Be sure to check out their reviews too.

That's it for right now. I hope you enjoy this post and have a great day!

Mark
