Agent Queries and Realisations
Last week I sent out my first agent query for Winterland and while it was nerve-wracking, it was also exciting. It was the moment I’d been waiting for, building up towards, and something I’d put off too. Winterland, my new fantasy romance novel, was completed back in November 2018 and after editing and polishing it – attending the Finish Your Novel course with Conor Kostick and the Edit Your Novel course with Brian Langan, I had no excuses left. It was now or never.

Visions Chapters 2 and 3 Now Available on Dreame
It’s been a busy week but I’m delighted to say that Visions is being read and enjoyed over on Dreame which is fantastic. Dreame is an excellent app for young adult readers which is the target audience for my Cursed Angels duet, and that is why I decided to publish book 1 there first. So far the experiment is going well and I’ve just added the next two chapters to the site.

I’m Doing A Wattpad Experiement
Wattpad has a global community of 70 million readers and writers. That’s a lot and I thought I’d try a little experiment. As you probably already know, Wattpad is a free platform where you can post your work in progress or complete novel and let readers enjoy it for free. Yes, FREE. You can post chapter by chapter and the great thing about it is reader feedback if things work out.

Writing Routine: Do You Need One?
If you’ve been reading advice on writing, you’ll most likely be familiar with the term writing routine. Every writer has a routine of some kind whether it’s writing a fixed amount of words every day, devoting a certain amount of time to writing, or writing at a certain time each day. Today I thought I’d talk about why a writing routine is important and why it works for me.

The Page a Day Challenge: For Writers That Don’t Have Time
Whenever I’m asked about writing and tips and techniques I recommend, one of the things I always talk about is the Page A Day Challenge. This is the technique that allowed me to write all my novels and books so far and one that I personally feel turned my writing life around.
