July 18, 2017

Hello, hello! I wanted to send a quick note to thank all of you for following "The Devil You Don’t," especially at this early stage.

Entries for the 2017 Launchpad Manuscript Competition closed the other day, so now it is up to the judges, so fingers crossed! Right now the top 25 are scheduled to be announced on September 12, but I’m not sure if they’ll do a Top 75 and Top 50 prior to that (they did last year, but those milestones are not on the official list).

In the meantime, I am working through a really robust set of edits to the manuscript, and am excited with how it is developing. I think these changes help raise the stakes for my two main characters, Mara and Duncan, and give more depth to their relationship as it unfolds.

I’m also working on a book trailer to use once (with luck) I’m able to open Devil up for funding on Inkshares as part of the competition. I’m not, however, going to do more work on the trailer until my manuscript edits are done to make sure it is truly reflective of the story’s content.

Thanks again for your interest in "The Devil You Don’t." I’ll send out another update when I have some news to share. If any of you have questions, you can message me through Inkshares or through email: susankhamilton@yahoo.com, and of course, if you know anyone who might be interested in joining us on this wild ride, please share my Inkshares page with them (https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-devil-you-don-t)

Best,
Susan
