A couple of days ago I started a Top Ten list of signs that you are an actual published author. Then I ran over my word limit. I considered cutting it down to a Top Five, but I was having too much fun. So, as promised, here are the Top Five signs you are an actual published author.
5. People (other than your mother) have read your book.
4. People stop asking (however briefly) when you’re going to give up that whole writing thing and get a real job.
3. You get to work with two of the best editors in the business! Thanks, Zoe and Sarah!
2. You are invited to speak at writers’ festivals. This is an enormous amount of fun. Plus, you get to meet people who have read your book – so cool!
1. People ask you when your next book is coming out. Come on, people, it’s only been a week! But to answer your question – Beast Child will be out NEXT September. If you can’t wait any longer, head over to my website for a sneak peek! www.benchandler.com.au
Well, that’s it from me over here. Thanks for a great week of bloggage. Blogging? Bloganating? Anyway, whatever you call it, I’ve had a blast!
