Publishing

6 Years Ago


Here's a thread to discuss possible publishing stuff since mail threads die quickly.
I'll copy the thing from the publishing mail thread I created to here:

GUYS I found a writing contest where we can enter a book and it might get published. Also my mom had people who want to read stuff that I'm writing, and she is currently ranting at me about getting stuff published so I want to submit Descendants. However I wanted to talk to you guys about it first. Please reply soon =) Also another boundary is the fact that I don't have the actual document =D
Note: WE DO NOT NEED TO HAVE IT COMPLETELY EDITED TO SUBMIT IT TO EDITORS. IDK why that's in caps. But we can literally submit it AS IS. The editors would probably have all their own comments anyway so not everything is set in stone.

So yeah =D This is getting s-e-r-i-o-u-s!

here, i'll just rereply here:
i think that that's a good idea, i also think that we should all go through the books and make any last changes to make the story line up better, and to make the characters better (like jay should change some dl stuff in book two) and i'm going to change some stuff in my characters when they first come in
so just comment any and all changes, no matter how small, it's fine
also, jay, make sure that all three of our names are on it, ok?
also, i'll try to get on my home computer later this week and transfer descendants to my home account and send it to you, ok jay? also what was your home account again?

Re: Publishing

Re: Publishing

descendants is here on writerscafe and on wattpad, so i don't know why we need to send it to you. fonts perhaps?
anyways it needs some serious editing bc there are a lot of things that dont line up between characters and events and plots and pacing
