And Batty is still tweaking away...

One day, very soon I promise, I will have a manuscript that I am one hundred per cent happy with. I know the text of Please eat... so well by now that I could recite it aloud, off by heart. But that's the problem... I am getting "too close" to it. Thankfully one of my reviewers has picked up on one or two things in the 6 chapters I've posted up on the web as a "taster". She has also kindly offered to have a read through the whole manuscript. When I eventually finish tweaking, that is...


The incredibly generous and lovely Becky Henry, author of "Just tell her to stop", is also giving my manuscript the once over and has offered to do a review.

So once I've collected all of this feedback and actioned my own changes to the manuscript I will be sending off for a final printed proof before re-checking and publishing, hopefully sometime in February.

It's worth waiting a little while to ensure it's right. Although you can do second editions, you have to use a new ISBN number. It's also a hassle.

So it's best to get it right first time.

If anyone else has picked up on anything from these first 6 chapters, please let me know!!
