Wednesday 29th June 2022

A big day for Paisley today. After doing some final edits and checks, I wrote a synopsis (which tells the whole story - including spoilers), a one lined summary of the story (much harder to come up with something snappy!) and I submitted to two publishers.

Firstly, I sent it to Loose Parts Publisher.

Publishing With Us – Ethical, Sustainable, Beautiful Books for Kids (looseparts.com.au)

Secondly Walker Books for Walker Wednesday. I have been aware of Walker Wednesday - the only day in the year that this publisher accepts unsolicited manuscripts but I had forgotten which day it was.

I had just sent Paisley off to Loose Parts and thought quite casually, I might check Walker Wednesday... and today is the day!! 

So some mad scrambling I got Paisley ready and submitted it. Phew!  

I can't update you for a long time because publishers are so swamped with submissions, they never get back to authors so if a few months have passed, you just assume you haven't been successful.
