Hello, everyone!

Did you know that the typical time it takes for a writer to go from book contract to publication is between nine months and two years? Given that my contract really didn’t begin until September, we are on trend.

There are many steps in the publishing process. I am holding steady in the revision stage, which is both exciting and fatiguing. This stage, the most tedious to me, is the most important, because it means that the team and I are working diligently to deliver House of the Broken Promise in its best form. The point isn’t just to get published, but to publish something special. We don’t want my book to be average. We want it to be great, and to be great takes meticulous work and loads of time. It is so hard to be patient after Anna’s story has been with me for so many years; but I am so excited by what is coming out of this process.

I’ll be sure to update again when we move to the next step.

Thanks for sticking with me!

Sonja

Hello, Inkshares family! Here is a quick update about House of the Broken Promise.

Revisions are still underway but have stalled as I complete a year-long ghostwriting project. As the contract comes to a finish in August, my revisions for House of the Broken Promise will resume at a much faster pace. Thank you all for your patience!

In the meantime, I will be participating in a Zoom author panel this Wednesday July 31st at 8pm EST. Inkshares author Caren Simpson McVicker is celebrating the one-year publication anniversary of her fantastic book, Henderson House (check it out!) and has also asked author Stephen Harrison to join in the fun. Stephen’s book, The Editors, hits bookstores August 13th.

I will give more updates soon!

With gratitude,
