Great News!
We are excited to announce we’ve moved on to the Beta-Reading phase in our publishing journey.
Wait, what is a beta reader?
A beta-reader receives a copy of an author’s manuscript and provides feedback from a reader’s perspective. This will help the author improve their story.
We’ve had an overwhelming amount of responses from people who were interested in being beta-readers for The Motorbike Gang. (Thanks to everyone who signed-up. We really appreciate it.) We reached our desired amount of readers for Book 1: The Chicago Bank Robberies. As a result, we are no longer accepting applications. But, if this interests you (or you’re disappointed that you weren’t able to participate), be encouraged and stay tuned for more information about receiving an Advanced Reader Copy.
Our Personal Experiences Thus Far
The journey from idea to writing to editing took about TWO YEARS!!! To get from having an idea to allowing God to bring the idea to pass is a process. We’ve spent quite a bit of time:
- writing
- editing & learning how to edit
- being in communication with editors
- patiently (& sometimes impatiently) waiting
- learning how deadlines & due dates work
- working with an illustrator
- learning all things entrepreneurial skills
- marketing
In those two years we’ve met amazing people who’ve helped us and learned new skills that led us to this point in our journey.
“For me, waiting for so long was tough, but I’ve learned patience and I’m excited to move on. But throughout these two years, my writing skills have improved drastically, and I believe the wait time taught me a lot.”
– Matthew
“Waiting was hard, and it definitely taught me patience, but overall, it’s been fun.”
– Zach
