What Comes Next?

Posted on by

As you have probably heard by now, I have sold my YA novel, “Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero” to Five Rivers Publishing (http://bit.ly/aNgS3j). I don’t think I need to tell you all how happy I am to be able to make the announcement. Truth be told, I’m still in a bit of shock. So, what’s next?

What worked? What didn’t? How could things be better and just how did the writing community do with their submissions?
