I’m so excited! I just signed with Galatea  If you want to read How to Survive a Hot Italian Summer before it moves, you better do it now — exclusively on Inkitt. Only five chapters will remain available on Wattpad. You’ll find a newly edited version on Galatea when it’s ready, and hopefully the rest of the series too  And my first book, Wolfheart, actually just won an Amby Award

How to Survive got a publishing deal at Galatea, whoo!! So it may be taken down if I sign. BUT I am so unsure about losing movie rights and IP, so I actually will take some time to think.

@rikaaraji468 Oh, I see! That is a risk to take. Luckily, I don’t have to pay anything, but I think there was something about the book having to stay there for a period of time, since they are spending money on editorial work and things like that — which is understandable.
            
            And they do have a big platform where you can potentially get a lot of readers. I’ve heard about published books that don’t make much money. The most important thing is that it gets out there, but at the same time I want to explore my options before I say yes. I definitely will ❤️

@FridaMooe I've actually gotten a contract like that as well, though not from Galatea. In that contract that was sent to me, it had your same terms but also that if my book failed to make the standard profits, I'd end up reimbursing the company for their advertising. I didn't go through with the contract because there were so many cons compared to the pros, and I wasn't ready to make a risk like that.
            Take your time and read the contract clause by clause before you make a decision. You may even consult a few others online.
            
            Oh wow so I'll have to wait, huh! No worries. I noticed it had been a while since you updated the sequel to Wolfheart, and I'd rather read it when there's signs of you continuing! But feel free to check in, too, in case you want to talk about anything :)❤️

@rikaaraji468 
            
            Yes, it has!! I’m great, had to stand up against some hard forces since we last spoke, but it paid off and hopefully helped a lot of others as well ❤️ How are you? Missed you here.
            
            Actually, I’ve been thinking about picking up your book again every day because I miss the characters, but my time has been taken up with a lot of stuff ;)
            
            Inkitt is kind of like Wattpad, but they use algorithm analytics to determine if a book has high potential to be binged and such. And Galatea, which is owned by Inkitt, is one of the biggest reader apps. However, I haven’t said yes because it’s a very personal story and involves a heavy theme that I want to get out there the right way. Also, the contract states that they can actually write books in the series for me if I don’t do it myself, and they would own the film rights, so I want to explore my options first. I’m looking for agents, though that can be hard and takes time, so we’ll see what I end up doing ;)
            
            But anyway, I want to support you and I definitely want to read your book, but you can wait on reading How to Survive until I’ve decided, and I’ll let you know! I’ve also been thinking about rewriting Wolfheart, so I’ve put the sequel on hold for now so please wait with that one too ;)

First meetings are hard… but also the most fun. 
          Do you have a favorite “first-meeting” fantasy moment—one you’ve written or read—that still lives rent-free in your brain?
          
          Here’s mine, straight from How to Survive a Hot Italian Summer (NA / Sports Romance).
          
          I'd barely climbed a couple of steps when I heard footsteps from above. I sensed the atmosphere shift before raising my gaze.
          
          He was coming down the stairs barefoot, carrying a confidence you can't learn, only wear. His hair fell in saltwater waves, light and effortless, just touching his shoulders.
          
          Our eyes met for a moment; his were blue. Not frosty blue, but alive, like waves rolling toward shore.
          
          He was only wearing swim trunks. Bare-chested. Tanned skin. He looked like some mix of a Viking and an Italian god.
          
          I forgot to keep walking. My legs stopped mid-step. Then came the heat—not the good kind, but the embarrassing, sticky kind that creeps up from your chest and settles in your cheeks. I was definitely staring too long, but I couldn't stop myself.
          
          I tried to pretend I was looking at the railing. Or a mark on the wall. Anything but him.
          
          "Jacob, say hi to Lisa," Lorenzo said behind me.
          
          My throat tightened. "H-hey," I stammered. I could barely hold his gaze.
          
          "Hey," he said, with a teasing smile, like he'd seen right through me—like he knew exactly what effect he had. Or maybe he was just making fun. I couldn't tell.
