Congrats on writing an entire book, that's incredible! When I first started down my publishing path, I relied a lot on Susan Dennard's website and incredible content to help me understand how to revise and prep my book for querying and beyond. She has a fantastic series on how to get traditionally published. Hope this helps! https://susandennard.com/for-writers/(less)

And yes, you can definitely look forward to a bit of an enemies to lovers vibe. I've always been curious about the space between good and evil, the moral grey, so to speak. How does one view the world and how does the idea of what's good or evil change from different POVs? And is there ever a true, singular answer to that question? Those questions were some of the ones that inspired me to write THE TIGER AT MIDNIGHT.(less)
