Hi! So…you guys here on my website are unfortunately VERY behind on news (because I’m terrible at updating – I promise I’ll try to get better). But I officially finished drafting Color the Sea and started editing, and now I’m looking for sensitivity readers! I can’t believe I’m just 2 and a half months away from the book’s release, and I honestly think I might need to push it back. I’m really hoping not to, since because it’s a book with mostly summer vibes, I want it to release in the first half of summer so people have time to read it during the second half (not that it’s a seasonal book at all or anything – it just happens to take place during that time, and I think it’d be fun to read on the beach or while on break!) Here’s the link to apply to become a sensitivity reader, if you want, since I still need some readers who fit the requirements. It’s very low-pressure with no experience required, and you’ll get paid and compensated! But, anyway. I’m super excited that this story will soon be shared with the world, since I genuinely love it so much. If you’re excited too, and you want more frequent updates, please follow me on Instagram at @crownsofthesky! I’d love to know if you came from my website. According to my analytics, I consistently get around 1-7 separate visitors on this site every day, so I have to conclude that there is at least someone reading the updates here. But, I never get any messages through the message box (it’s right below this if you didn’t know). So, please don’t be shy if you want to talk! I’ll always reply if you include your contact information.
