🌟Celebrate with me! 🌟 I’m so thrilled about these 5-star reviews for my YA rom-com Thanks, Carissa, For Ruining My Life! I worked on this novel for more than a decade and went through SO many seasons of rejection and disappointment. I queried countless agents who responded that it wasn’t “good enough” in some way or another. Over those 11+ years, I was represented by three different agents who tried to sell the book to publishers, with no luck. I submitted the book myself to numerous small publishers, receiving either no response or a form rejection letter from all of them… ...until my wonderful publisher @immortalworks bought my book last year! And now, to continue to hear from readers who are resonating with this story and falling in love with these characters who I have loved for years and years… it is SO very gratifying and fulfilling. More than anything I’ve published so far, Thanks, Carissa reminds me that dreams do come true! You just need to believe in yourself, believe in your book, and keep persevering! Read through and then share in the comments ONE WIN you are celebrating in your writing life. Doesn’t matter how small. Own it and share it! Can’t wait to read it and cheer you on! 🎉🎉🎉
