I have recently had the honor of working closely on manuscripts by two writers in Lake Writers. For the past several months, I have been an avid reader and concept editor for Don Fink, whose Escape to the Sky, is shaping up to a very good historical novel. He still has a couple of hundred pages left to write, but the plot is solid and the characters are very compelling.
I just concluded a line edit of Sally Roseveare's second novel. Her first, Secrets of Spawning Run, has a devoted readership, which partially belies the idea that self-published fiction doesn't sell. I think the next one will do as well, if not better. You can read more about Sally at her web site.
Now, we need Becky Mushko, with her middle grade novel, and Sue Coryell, with a young adult work, both picked up quickly by agents. I wish my fellow writers the best of good luck.
My fingers are crossed, although it makes typing very difficult jf;ljsd;lfjsd;l.
Hey, half the membership of Lake Writers needs to be picked up by agents! (I've got to stop querying only one or two at a time. . . .) Who knew so many of us would turn out to be novelists.
ReplyDeleteI also had the pleasure of Beta-reading Sally's latest. It is super!
