It's time for another installment of the ISWG, hosted by the illustrious Alex J. Cavanaugh. For more information about this group, click here .
I've never been a nail biter until now. As many of you know, my novel PAWN of THE GODS was part of a publishing campaign with Kindle Scout. It ended a little over a week ago and still no word. Although some might say, "No news is good news." I've received conflicting feedback about this. One writer told me the winners are announced within the first few days, while the others are thrown into the slush pile to be sorted. Another writer told me the opposite, which leaves a lot of gray area.
So, here I sit, waiting and waiting, biting and biting my nails to the quick, wondering, is there hope? I suppose there's always hope, but I'm feeling very vulnerable and insecure about my book right now. I've put my writing out there to be shredded by pro's, and I fear they'll caution me not to quit my day job, LOL. One way or the other, it would be nice to know something so I can move forward.
On a side bar, for those of you who are interested in learning more about Kindle Scout, I plan to write an extensive post about my experience. It'll contain stats along with avenues for advertising and other things you'll need to know about the campaign. I won't provide too much detail here, but overall, regardless of the outcome, it was a positive experience. I learned a lot about the world of publishing. In closing, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I wait this thing out. Until next time, my friends in blogger land, happy writing.
