Thanks to all of you who voted and supported ‘Daisy’
‘Daisy’ just missed out this time by (I think) 14 votes! However, I still plan to submit the book into Januarys Voting Cycle and keep searching for other publishing options. This was always the original plan anyway.
I have received some excellent feedback from WEbook relating to improving ’Daisys’ chances, so its full steam ahead from here. Here is what Melissa at WEbook suggests we do:
“I know you put a tremendous amount of work into “Daisy” and I hope you don’t give up. You’ve collected a lot of women’s stories, but you may want to do some research into anthology organization and editing, and explore different ways of organizing and supplementing your material. A collection of stories with no over-arching theme other than their common subject matter may not be enough. Also, the individual essays in the collection need quite a bit of editing — while I appreciate that your contributors are not, for the most part, professional writers, some effort must be made to bring their essays up to a more professional standard before the book has a good shot at publication.”
If you have submitted a story can we all please work to this advice. I will concentrate on researching anthology organisation. If you haven’t shared a story then please keep having a look to give us your much appreciated feedback. New stories are coming in already!
Any problems please email me lyndseyemmapage@hotmail.com or find me on facebook under ‘Lyndsey Bradley/JustCallMeDaisy.
Kind Regards
