YWO - Legend have said YES!

Mutley

I have just had an email saying the book I have sent will be one of the 5,000. I don't think I believed that would happen. Aaarrrggghhh. Can't decide whether to laugh or cry. I need to do a very final edit, very fast! I need to read the contract, I need to get it back to them. I need to stop panicing!!!!!! :)

Amanda

Great!

Nena

Congratulations, Mutley. Is it your children's story?

midia

Well done, Mutley!

Mutley

No, Nena - i'm still working on that one. It is a humoroous book about commuting on the Tube in London. At least it was humorous til I spend quite so many hours going through to get it perfect. Now I'm at the point where I never want to see it again :)

Know the feeling, getting the spark back slowly (could be that Uni demands so much of the mind tho' . . .)

amboline

Have to confess that I read the first posting on this thread and I still have no idea what I'm congratulating you for, Mutley, but it sounds like congratulations and applause are in order anyway (and very well deserved!).

*hugs*

well done!

Mutley

At the moment it is probably more the hugs! I am now agonising as to whether to go ahead. My decision depends on 1) the answer to my question on ISBN and disrtibution 2) being able to format it as I want and send it as a PDF complete with cover - we shall see. It isn't the best thing I have written, in fact my writing has progressed a lot since the book I was planning to send, but I still believe if I can hit the right places for review etc that it is a book that woud comfortable stand up against others in the genre and do well.

Celtic C

More hugs for you Mutley - make the decision that sits happiest with you.

Wow, cool!
I will be tut-tutting at you if you come back and post before finishing your edit!

Col B

Good luck, Mutley (don't read the other thread!).

Randomguy

Good luck mate. If you do get it out there, let me know the title as I'd love to read it. Spent far too long myself being cattle-packed onto the Northern Line (misery line?) and so a few smiles to take away the sweaty palms I get when I think about it would be great.

Hi Mutley - just to say don't rush into anything. If it's as good as you believe, you don't want to compromise your chances of a publishing deal in the future. Check out the other discussions here regarding YWO and make an informed choice. Be proud of your 'baby' - it deserves the best shot you can give it. The decision is yours and I wish you all the best whichever direction you go in.

Jay Mandal

For Kaz.

caro

Well done!

Josette

I seem to have missed this first time round - all the best Mutley. :-)
