Thank you 31 Days to Live readers
31 Days to Live
An open letter to the fans of the 31 Days to Live series:
Thank you very much for your support and love everyone. For welcoming my world into your homes. Thank you for sending your pictures holding the books, sharing your reviews and recognizing a good story. Writing a book can be a challenge. It is much easier to come up with the ideas. However, the moment you want to put the story on paper or transfer it to a computer that is when the real magic begins.
In 2005, I began creating a fictional world that took place in the Bronx, New York. During my time in High school, I was a sophomore beginning the start to a phenomenal book series. Never would I have imagined the story formulated back then would become what you hold in your hands today. What started as three chapters in a notebook turned into thirty-two chapters in total.
For over ten years, the 31 Days to Live series went through many revisions, changes, plot twist and rejections. My book was not ready for the world in the past. I was eager and anxious to have my work out there. I made a terrible mistake allowing it to go public before its time. However, the rejections, grammatical errors and such did not discourage me. I was able to build and work towards creating a stronger and readable book! One particular rejection letter actually inspired me to become a self-publisher first before I found a publishing house called Apollo Publications. To the person who gave me that letter, thank you very much! I was able to return to you and show you how I turned out today. I’m glad you’re proud.
I went from reading my manuscript in local libraries and public schools to experiencing the biggest book event in New York called the Book Expo of America and Book Con (May 2018). One of the best moments of my life, especially since I attended the Jacob Javits Center as a fan. Never thought I’d be hosting an event. I met many people that day and was able to share my story to new readers. I received connections and gain a new audience. Thank you Apollo for making this possible. Thank you God for giving me a second chance at writing.
To writers, I advise you to make a name for yourself, take your time molding your craft and expect rejections. Do not be discourage. You can be a self-publisher and a traditional publisher. Just be consisted with your goals and believe! Never give up. What’s next? More books. 31 Days to Live was just the beginning, there will be more. The Kill All Project, Daughter of a Serial Killer and a spinoff down the line are coming…
Sincerely,
Lorenzo Dozier
