So, I have been looking into the difference between independent and traditional publishing. I've had my work in front of agents time and time again for months at this point. I've subbed it to non-agented places and still get rejects. And on top of that, it doesn't help that there are obvious issues traditional publishing... Continue Reading →
I swear I’m not dead, Just Busy
It's certainly been a min since I posted here, huh? Reason: I've been writing. And editing. And editing. And I've been sending work out to agents and publishers. I signed a contract for a story last month and expect to be getting publisher edits soon. I also participated in #DVpit and #PitMad, which weren't really... Continue Reading →
BetaBooks is a bust for me
I gave BetaBooks a try for centralizing my Beta Readers, and it didn't work out. Here were my complications: - Many readers didn't really sign up because they didn't want to go through establishing ground on a new website - I have to pay to have more than one book up (I think it would...

Beta Books and MMP Beta Portal
Ok, so! I have been using BetaBooks for a month or two. It isn't too bad but I am not sure if I want to stay on it. I like having multiple books out for readers to review but with BetaBooks, it's one at a time, even if the Beta Reader is done with the... Continue Reading →
It has been forevars
Then again, I never said I'd post a bunch - gets in the way of writing. I've been thinking of splitting up my works a little more. I've join Beta Books so all beta readers are in the same place (well, new ones. The old betas prefer the old method). Some works are simply just... Continue Reading →
Year of submissions
I started to send my works out for publication a year ago today. It's the first year of me doing it! Within the first year of publishing, one story was bought, "Runoff" by Nightlight, a Black horror podcast. It is still getting worked on for publication between the editor and I. I think that's not... Continue Reading →
Instead of WattPad, I’ll probably do Self-Pub
I have been fussing a lot about WattPad in the past few posts. There's just so much that I don't like about them and I just don't think it makes sense to suffer to use the website. Yes, it can get me new readers but frankly, so can other methods. Besides, I originally planned to... Continue Reading →
Maybe Wattpad isn’t such a good idea
Ah, continues of the Wattpad saga. Will I or won't I and other blah blah blah such as that. I tried putting up Mika's Robot as a tester (it's in private so no one but I can see it because tester). Crikey, did I freakin' despise it. It threw away all my formatting (especially for... Continue Reading →
The Gameplan with Wattpad
My Wattpad is hecka bare and I want to change that...then I get distracted and it doesn't happen. When I first started Wattpad, I was just going to randomly throw stories up there. Now that several are trying to get published in lit journals, most of my works are le missin'! This leads to a... Continue Reading →
Reflectors and Sexual Assault in Literature
Soooo, Reflectors has a sexual assault in it. For this reason alone, I'm not going to submit it for any publications but it's going up on Wattpad instead. The act isn't super white-dude-writer gratuitous, just enough to definitely count. And to definitely strike me out from several publications right off the bat and for good reason....
