Okay what’s new in the writing world for Madelyn? Where am I at in the process of publishing Winning My Queen?

Great questions!

I will be sending out my manuscript to beta readers hopefully next week on MLK day! It feels huge, scary, and oh man so very intimidating. Very much intimidated.

But I was talking to an author friend today and she reminded me that I’ve worked hard on this. Not all of it will be junk. Every manuscript has something to improve on, but so much of it will also be good things too. Plus, the people I’ve chosen are good friends who I know will be honest, yet also kind and encouraging.

That fear, it comes from Satan. We aren’t listening to him today!

As for the rest of the process I’m learning the backside of independently publishing a book. Things like ISBN numbers, Amazon ads, book formatting software, newsletters, and all of those fun things. Slowly but surely I will be more prepared for my first release. I’m sure it will not be perfect and that’s okay. It’s a debut. Of course I’m going to mess up. BUT I know I have lots of cheerleaders supporting me and wanting to help me along the way.

My biggest supporter right now is my husband. He’s been line editing my book and has left some of the funniest comments.
