IT IS OFFICIAL!

"Shadow King" has passed the Quill funding goal and will be published by Inkshares! I literally just clicked the "join" button to become part of the Quill Collection.

Thank you!

When I entered the Launchpad Competition last year, I never imagined this is where I would be. Honestly, I just thought it would be great to get feedback from the judges. Then, Shadow King was named to the Launchpad Top 75 list and made it all the way to the Top 10. That opened the door, but it is thanks to all of you, to every single person who took a chance on an unpublished book and put in an order, that I’m able to send this note today. The support has been absolutely amazing and I am grateful for it.

What’s next?

I don’t have a release date, but I understand from Inkshares that there are several Quill books in the queue for editing services ahead of me, so it is likely it will be a month (and perhaps a bit more) before I turn in my manuscript. Publishing timelines differ a little between Quill and full publishing, and this blog post will give you an idea of what the full publishing timeline looks like. So, it will still be a little bit before you have Shadow King in your hands.

In the meantime, I’ll be doing one more review of the manuscript before I turn it in and working on getting more sales and more exposure. Also, I’ll be getting a vastly improved cover thanks to the excellent efforts of Charlene Maguire at www.shapeshifterstudios.com. I’m really excited about the concept she’s come up with and I think you’ll love it, too!

I’ll send another update when there’s news to report, but in the meantime, if any of you have questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask. You can reach me through the Inkshares platform or at my email: susankhamilton@yahoo.com.

Take care!

Susan
