Happy October, writers! Join us for the Insecure Writers Support Group, started by Alex Cavanaugh.
Thank you to today’s commendable co-hosts: Jemima Pett, Beth Camp, Beverly Stowe McClure, and Gwen Gardner!
I’ve plodded through my ninth novel for the past 18 months and *finally* finished a few days ago. It’s a sports romance titled Rivals.
When an Ohio State volleyball coach meets a Michigan football coach as they recruit twin star athletes, the hot rivalry begins. How will it end? Find out in early 2021.
Rivals is up at Goodreads.
I have an awesome editor, but my book designer is busy with her day job. I’m searching for a cover designer and formatter who communicates effectively. Who’s your go-to for self-publishing?
My quick response to today’s question: According to the IRS, writing is a HOBBY for me! 😀
Congrats on finishing your book! And you definitely picked a huge rivalry for your characters.

Congratulations on finishing your book!
And I like your definition of “working.” The CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) also sees my writing as a “hobby.” 🙂

haha, yes, I guess the IRS has final say on our answer this month’s question.
LOVE that heart graphic! So perfect for Rivals. I’m excited that the world will soon get to read it. You did an excellent job on it, my dear, and I’m honored to have been an early reader. Cograts on typing “the end.”
Thanks for asking the question about formatters!

Congrats on typing “the end!” I love that feeling. Also, I’ve worked with The Forge Books for content editing and proofreading in the past. I haven’t used their formatting service, so I can’t speak to that, but I enjoyed working with them. Very responsive, and reasonable pricing. Congrats again!
