THE RESULT OF A CHANGE | Completed

TROAC UNPUBLISHED

Hey, I know what I'm going to say won't be easy for anybody to digest, but it's both good news and bad news.

I've been writing this novel and publishing it on Wattpad ever since December 11th, 2015, and the amount of love, support and encouragement you all gave me had been enormous, its effect still brightens my heart in my darkest hours.

My journey on Wattpad has been beautiful, it gave me tears of joy and excited jumps everyday. Every new read, vote, comment, addition to your reading lists, all of these kept me going, kept me breathing despite the bumps on the road. My journey on Wattpad had been full of love, and this love encouraged me to look for publishers and get it out there, to hold it in my hands.

And so, after the first draft was complete, I took it upon myself to edit it and go on a publishers' hunt at the same time. And in those long 7 months of rejection after rejection, disappointment after disappointment, your words were pressing me on, telling me that my book is good enough to fight for until the very end, that it could add something to your lives. And so, I never gave up.

On November the 7th, 2017, TROAC was finally accepted by an Egyptian local publishing house called Tweeta Publishing House, and made its first appearance at the Cairo International Book Fair 2018 on its 49th annual round. Currently, it's available in paperback in bookstores all over Egypt.

Well, that's the good news. Let's move to the bad ones.

According to the contract, I'm not allowed, as in legally, to publish my book either electronically or physically under any other publisher or online site until the 2 years of the contract are over.
Meaning, the presence of this book on Wattpad right now is illegal, and that's why I'm afraid I have to unpublish it.
Trust me, it feels like a betrayal on my side, and I'm honestly sorry, but I don't think I'm left with a choice.

However, there's something I can do about it for all of you willing to go through Zoey's journey to the end and can't get your hands on the published copy (since it's only available in Egypt), and that is emailing you the final edited pdf version exclusively on one condition: not sharing it here or any other place either in print or online, not sending it to anyone without permission or spreading it around without further notice from my side.

PM me your email if you're interested in a free pdf copy, I'd be happy to oblige.

And last but not least, thank you for everything till now, thank you very much.

With love and regards,
Eman Nabil.
