So the next step in my journey of releasing my baby, was to organise some early previews of my book for review. This was incredibly difficult. Finding a book club to preview it for me, that was the easy part, but actually knowing my book was going to be read by someone who was not me - that was difficult. I know that just seems ridiculous when the whole point of publishing a book is to have people read it.. but writing for me, is incredibly personal.
It's something that can't really be measured by right or wrong, or even determined by bad grammar or phrasing. The whole measure of a novel is whether the reader just gets it!
Does the reader get lost in the story? Are they really on that emotional ride with the characters as they embark on their journey? To me, that is what makes a book enjoyable or not to its audience. Quite simply, its honesty.
With all of that in mind, the early reviews for 'Cut' prior to its official release, will be posted on my Blog and through the Goodreads website (if anyone has a profile, please look me up). Not long now...
Eeek! ;)
