Interrupting this travelogue to announce ....

Great news! While I was on holiday, I picked up an email from Wild Rose Press, asking for revisions on Let's Misbehave. My first ever revision request!

The revisions all make complete sense. They are mostly historical inaccuracies that need to be fixed, rather than writing issues, though the editor has asked me to make the POV shifts fewer and clearer. It's very clear what needs to be done - but that's still easier said than done.

The editor's letter was very positive and encouraging, and just reinforces everything I've heard about the wonderful people at Wild Rose. I so hope this story finds a home there ... and the next one ...

Now that I've done jumping up and down and celebrating with cheap Greek wine, I'm going to concentrate on my opening chapter for the Harlequin Presents contest and let these revisions stew in the back of my head. Then I need to knuckle down and complete them before Nano starts!

  2. Great news, Romy!!! It sounds like the editor really likes your story. (And the revisions seem very straightforward too) Hope this results in a sale.

  3. CONGRATS ROMY!

    I'll jump up and down with you :D

    I can't believe it's almost Nano time! I don't know if I'll manage it this year - I'm pretty sure it should still be July...
