| My book is being published - I'm sooooo excited!!!!! [B]Hi everyone, this has nothing to do with yorkies, but I just wanted to share my exciting news....my children's novel is being published, and I've signed a contract for two more! Writing's all I've ever wanted to do and I've been selling short stories to magazines and e-zines for a while now. My main ambition was to have a novel published before I'm 30, and I turn 28 in December so I've done it! when I sent the manuscript off I wasn't very hopeful because I'm unagented and I'd heard that publishers are unlikely to look at your work if you're not represented, but a week later I got an email saying they loved it and wanted to meet with me. I've since signed a three-book deal with them I can't believe it!!! Now all my friends and family will have to eat their words - they thought I was wasting my time! Thanks for letting me share! xxx xxx

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | That's AWESOME. Congratulations! It's one thing to want to publish a book, but it's another to actually do it. You should be quite proud of yourself. Keep it up!

| Thanks so much everyone for the congrats The book's being published as part of a new range called WizzBook, which is being launched in February 2009, I think my book is going to be out in the summer. There's an illustrator working on a front cover at the moment so in the next couple of weeks I have to meet with him to see what I think. I can't wait! I know it sounds super-cheezy but it's like a dream come true! xxx xxx
