Re: I did that! The accomplishments thread

LOL, maybe it's set in a convention center?

I totally get that. Getting a professional editor and a professional designer/artist for the cover costs money that most people simply don't have. It's the appearance of professionality that's important. You can sell a lot of crap with the appearance of professionality.

But hey, you wrote a story and actually finished it and got it out there. If you can get people to read, maybe even review it, there will be some among them who like it enough to buy another book you wrote.

Unless, of course, you're Chuck Tingle. If you're Chuck Tingle, your in mainstream terms outlandish content will generate quite a buzz on its own and your terrible covers are rather part of the charm.

LOL Chuck Tingle is his own kind of ... specialness.

I wanted to go through the agent process to get another editor because, yeah, I don't have the money to pay for a line editor. But agents want... whatever agents want and werewolves who ride hovering motorcycles and fight bad guys with family whacky hijinks is apparently... not it at the moment. I'll admit the book is long and I did try to edit it down to their word counts and immediately lost the soul of the book.

Here, I don't know if this cover is reassuring or not. But there it is: https://ginny0.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/lpcoverfront.jpg

I'm trying to get my courage up to send a review copy to the guy on tumblr who seems to be the werewolf guru on that site.

But thank you for the lovely encouragement. It means a lot!
