Thank you for the peek into your publishing experience, I will now forever live in fear of dying on submission 🫣😂

Haha oh NO!!! This is just something that can happen. Jojo Moyes said she got her THIRD novel published which I guess means two died. It means nothing apart from they can’t see where to put you in that moment. I’m pretty sure her third then allowed her to publish the other two. It’s never ‘The End’ even if it feels like it. x

As fabulous as I would expect from you, some interesting insight, especially the 'what if it's no good?' idea, because how do you know? How? Neither your friends or family will do anything but praise you, which is lovely but unhelpful. As someone who I have spoken to on and off since I joined pre- Fascist Twitter, I'm weirdly proud and so happy for you. May it sell a Million.

Also, how do you know?

Thank you for shedding a big old spotlight on the process. I'm also represented by Greyhound and my book is out on submission. I love reading about other author's experiences - and I'm super excited for your novel coming out! - so I am swallowing up (is that the right phrase?! probs not) all of your publishing diary posts. Cheers!
