***This will be the least structured blog post I’ve ever written because I officially signed with a publishing house and FEELS MAKE IT VERY CHALLENGING TO FUNCTION PROPERLY***
That’s right, folks.
My book is getting published!
For those of you who don’t already know, I won a writing contest back in 2017 for the first chapters of the young adult paranormal manuscript I was working on,Β Devonna, and then back in October I found my amazing agent Stacey Kondla, and we’ve been submitting Devonna to publishing houses.
And it got accepted by Evernight Teen!
I solemnly swear to keep you updated as I get closer to the projected release date ofΒ Devonna, which should be in October 2019.
As in, next October, people.
As in, in less than five months.
And obviously I’ll share more about Devonna very soon! I can’t wait to introduce her and Bram to the world because they’ve been haunting me for so long, folks, it’s not even funny anymore. But for now, I just needed to let you know that it’s happening.
It’s happening!
1). can’t wait to promote the living shit out of this book on every social media platform that I have b/c Oh MY GOD YOU ARE GOING TO BE AN ACTUAL PUBLISHED AUTHOR SOON
2). I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.
3). LIKE, literally SO proud. I mean, I’m already a fan of Devonna from the manuscript you sent me? BUT LIKE A WHOLE ASS BOOK W/ YOUR NAME PRINTED ON IT AND EVERYTHING? GET OUT.
4). You’re going to make me CRY
5). welcome back to blogging
6). Did I MENTION I’m so fuckin proud of you?

If there was a way for me to bake a cake with those words on it and send it all the way to India and that it would magically still be intact and edible when you open it, I would totally do that right this SECOND.

Thanks so much, Sophie! Yes, it was a long journey of hard work and I’m really proud π The release is set for October 2019 but there’s still a lot of work! (It never ends, apparently, haha.) Some edits, but mostly marketing stuff to take care of, and figuring out what I want in terms of book launch, stuff like that! It’s all new and verry excited! (And stressful haha.)
