Earlier this morning I received my revised manuscript from my editor at Invisible Ink Editing. These will prove to be the last substantive changes to the book.
In other words, once I've made these revisions, ANOM: Awakening will exist in it's finalized form -- the same exact form it will take when published on Amazon later this year. It's hard to describe how excited I am. After what feels like a very long time, I can finally see my finish line. For next week's blog post, I would like to answer some of the big questions I've received since launching my webpage and announcing my novel.
If you would like to ask a question before next week's article, you can contact me here. I would also encourage you to sign up for my monthly newsletter so you don't miss out on any important news and/or exclusive offers regarding my debut novel, ANOM: Awakening. You can sign up for the newsletter here. The original manuscript, ANOM: Awakening, was sent today to Invisible Ink Editing.
Invisible Ink Editing is a small editing team with very good prices for the services they offer. I found Invisible Ink a couple of months ago when I was searching online for an editor for my book. At that time, I exchanged several e-mails with Liam Carnahan, founder and chief editor of Invisible Ink. I appreciated how accessible he was, and his willingness to answer all my novice questions (Liam usually responded to my e-mails on the same day). Then I sent in the first 20 pages of my book for a "sample edit" and when I saw the results, I was hooked (you'd have to ask Vanessa about it, but there may have even been tears of joy when I read some of their suggestions). The changes suggested on those first pages were exactly what I needed. It kept my "voice" in tact, but made the story sing. I immediately scheduled a day in February to send in my completed manuscript, and finally, that day is here. Today is an exciting step on the road to my ultimate goal of publication. Now I just have to (patiently) wait for the results of Liam's editing . . . a task easier said than done. For anyone interested in the editing services offered by Invisible Ink Editing, you can find their website here. The Jason R. James official Facebook page went live yesterday and we already have a bunch of members!
