We didn’t have a group this week, which was perfect timing. I’ve been stretched pretty thin lately, and just started querying editors, which is why I’m here today even though we’re still in “Recess”.
Whether you’re just a casual reader or a writer, if you know an editor send them my way. I recently requested offers on Reedsy, and am learning all the different types of editing processes. I’ve gotten an offer for an editorial assessment of Volume One (200 pages/100k words) at around 2k, which seems fair.
I’m hoping to find someone to collaborate on all four volumes and at least one Margaret Apple Mystery novel, and would prefer to find someone in the age range of my character Isabella Flannagan (25). That request is mostly because this is a YA series, and of course because the first Margaret Apple Mystery, “Bloody Candy Apples” will be written in Isabella’s narrative.
In other news? I need to take a break after I finish up Chapter One of Volume Four, “A Maddisun Tale” on Friday with the release of her new single “Feelin’ It Again” on this Friday, June 7th. If you have some extra clicks in your fingers, could you pre-save the song on your choice of streaming service by clicking this DistroKid Link? It’s a huge help to artists when you pre-save a song and helps that track get on playlists like Spotify’s “Release Radar”.
Then for probably most of June and July, I’ll only be posting “Back To School”. I need to spend some time outside. I’ve gained a little snack weight from spending the spring writing Volume Three and need to stretch my legs out a bit. That’s also because I have two, that’s right TWO top-secret projects coming. Just keep an eye out for anything Mischievous in the middle of July.
As always, you can follow along on my IG @the.funky.janitor, and if you want to be awesome you can follow Maddisun on her IG @maddisunmusic and sign up for her Patreon.
Oh, Also, this happened…
That stereo is a Sony SQP 400 and Toyo Quadraphonic 8 Track player.
That’s all for now, see you next week.
