1 DAY 'TILL TWISTED

Hiya, lovelies!

So tomorrow is the official publish of Twisted!! I received proofs for the print formats last night, or technically this morning, at 2 AM, but sadly, there was one thing wrong, so I have to wait a few more days for Amazon to return the proofs again with the edits and let me approve them. Hopefully there aren't any more mistakes this time around so print on demand can happen next week!

I'll keep ya'll updated on that! So excited to share Twisted with ya'll tomorrow!!

:D

Much love,

Print Cover Formatting!

Yo lovelies!

So Dane sent in the print formats but didn't have time to update the description, so I'm just waiting for that now before I upload everything on Createspace.

I'm not sure if I'll have everything completely ready by this Friday, as I'd like to proof the books before they get sent out - I want to make sure everything looks nice and whatnot.

Anyhow, Dane is from ebooklaunch.com and I was so lucky to have him as a cover designer! He's inquisitive, so creative, and very caring when it comes to creating you, the author's, book cover. If you're an indie author looking for a cover artist, I strongly suggest ebooklaunch.com and their team of artists! I haven't tried their other services, but they also do formatting and interior design, as well as editing. Just an FYI!

And here's the print design cover (with the unedited description lmao):

TWISTED OUT FOR PRE-ORDER (Amazon Kindle)

Hey lovelies!

So there are FOUR MORE DAYS until the official publication date for Twisted! I've wrapped up with all the formatting for the ebooks, though I'm selling exclusively to Amazon for 90 days before putting it up on Nook, but as of now you can Pre-Order it so it will automatically be sent to your device when it does come out!

The nerves are out of wire for me - I keep checking everything, over and over, to make sure the final product is 100% complete and correct. Hopefully it is by the time Friday comes! I'm so so nervous but ultimately excited - and seeing the cover on Amazon is giving me serious goosebumps! I can't believe the time is already here!

This has been one hell of a journey, talk about hands on learning. Some of the most difficult things arrived lately, which is why I haven't been able to post count-downs or anything. Formatting was a bitch (by the way, Indesign is so much easier than Microsoft Word when it comes to print design, just saying), skim-editing was cringe-worthy, and altogether the nerves I'm feeling, constantly, about whether this work is good enough or not is making me lose tons of sleep. But it's exhilarating, going out of my comfort zone, and I'm so ready to share this story with the world!

So, again, I want to offer a big massive thanks to all my readers who have encouraged me to take this leap and have stuck with me from the beginning - being December 27th, 2012 when I first uploaded Twisted as a fanfiction. Argh, and now I'm tearing up!

Here's where you can pre-order Twisted - for the Kindle, ebook. I'm still pulling everything together with the printers for the print version, so that may have to wait - hopefully I can finish everything by the publishing date, or close afterwards. I know I said I'd only publish the ebook format, but I decided to print a few, for those who prefer reading printed books or don't have applications for ebooks.

Anyhow, hope ya'll are having a lovely day!

Much, much love,
Sarah Reeves

Hiya, lovelies!

Long time no see, aye!

Well, I never thought it would be so difficult writing a descriptive summary for your book, but it was one of the most difficult things in my journey of writing Twisted. Needless to say, I've got a strong draft as of now and will run it by some people, to receive edits and gather thoughts on it. I'm hoping to have everything 'turned in' by this weekend, so I can have a few days before the publication and make sure everything is top notch!

JUST 8 DAYS THOUGH, GUYS! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I SURE CAN'T.

Although I'm at the point where I'm not even sure if what I'm writing is interesting or not - it's a mini crisis, one I'll hopefully endure, but I always experience this kind of thing when I finish writing a book. Or, in this case, undergo so much editing *-* I haven't even started on Unstable yet, though I hope to have that written either by the end of summer, or sometime in the Fall.

Anyhow, just an update to what's going on. The date is still April 1st, next Friday. I'm coming to contact with the winners of the February giveaways to send their books over - all good, good. I hope everyone's having a wonderful day! If you have any questions, hit me up on Twitter @SmilinForYa

Love,

Hiya, lovelies!

So, I've got some bad news.

Remember when I announced that the estimated publishing date was on March the 20th?

Well, that's going to have to be pushed back a bit. I've been living and breathing editing, but with the pressure of a deadline quickly approaching, I feel like I'm not giving the time needed to really focus on what needs to be changed/fixed. And also, today marks the first day of Spring Break from school, and until Tuesday, I won't be able to get back on my computer because I'm visiting family, and to top it off, I'm not even finished with the developmental edits for the manuscript, though I'm so close.

So nevertheless, here's the official publishing date:

April 1st

I know for a fact this is the perfect amount of time - it might even be too much time, but I'd rather have that than too little. Anyhow, so the new publishing date is April 1st. I'm going to be getting into contact with the winners of the February giveaways around the 20th of March so I can have everything together by the time April comes around, for them to receive their books.

I'm really sorry for the delay, but I only want the finished product to be the best it can be. I hope ya'll understand!

Much, much love,
Sarah xx

Hiya, lovelies!

So fantastic news!

Lauren, my wonderful editor, sent in the full edits for Twisted this morning, two days before the due date! So clearly because she's on top of her game, I get a head start to begin implementing the edits onto the new draft and get ready for publication!

I literally woke up this morning with her email, and it was like Christmas all over again! I'm so anxious to get started for publication! But for this round of edits, I'm probably going to print out the chapters separately and edit them manually; there's something different about seeing it in print form than on a computer screen - I always seem to catch more!

But anyhow, I hope everyone enjoyed their leap day yesterday. Me being me, I didn't even know it was leap day, so I had nothing extraordinary planned. In fact, I spent the majority of my time cleaning...and trying to complete the first chapter of Unstable without trashing it. I'm having such a problem with finishing it - I've rewritten it four times now and can't seem to find the right beginning. Oh, well. I'll have to be patient and let it come to me. And that's the beautifully frustrating thing about writing: you can never force it!

Also, as for publication, I am planning now to print a few books because I've noticed a lot of people would rather have the print format than the ebook, so I wouldn't want to restrict people based on that. So when it does come out on March the 20th, you can also buy the print, as well as the ebook!

Lots of love,
Sarah
