Hi,can we be friends?

My apologies to anyone who might be reading one of my completed works--I've decided to try enrolling my works in Amazon's KDP Select program, and that requires me unpublishing them on any other platform for at least 90 days. If you were in the middle of one of my works, I can probably send you a copy via Amazon. Do let me know. Otherwise, my WIP's will always be available here . . . can't promise they're any good, but you know.
Fingers crossed in this new phase of my self-promotion; I'm not good at it, but I'm certainly not getting much traction here, so it's time to try something new.
Best :)

@JonLeePeto I do like to post my work in progress, because it keeps me consistent! But I really don't have many readers, here, anyway :)
JonLeePeto
@SarahQuinnMcGrath It's very possible. I have mixed feelings about publishing anything new here...
SarahQuinnMcGrath
Just a random update. I obviously don't post here a lot, but I am constantly updating my WIP's. I am more interactive on my socials. But I finished For Every Evil in February; I'd love feedback on it if anyone is inclined to take a look. Working on my newest, Warthog, which I hope to have out end of August (it's currently a mess, but I'm trying). I am also updating my third poetry anthology, Poems for Quixotic Children, as I write the poems for it, and I hope to have that completed by the end of this year.
Cheers. :)

@SarahQuinnMcGrath nah I’ll read it on my weekly rota, I just finished a book. Don’t worry, I’ll read it online ;) so you can see my comments and praises.
SarahQuinnMcGrath
@AnnamitaMuscaria only if you want! I know you have your own writing! And of course I’d gladly mail you a copy if you wish.

Hey Sarah! I want to drop a heartfelt note of gratitude to you here for completing my academic research survey on the representation of the Indian LGBTQ+ community on Wattpad.
Your responses were incredibly insightful and if others also fill out the survey like you, I'm sure I'll have a strong and valid research to present to the world soon!
SarahQuinnMcGrath
Oh you’re welcome! I didn’t think I was very useful, but if it helped, I’m glad. Is there a link to your survey that I could share on my socials? (Sorry—time escaped me as it so often does.)
SarahQuinnMcGrath
Plugging away at my newest novel, For Every Evil. Honestly, I've never pantsed a book as much as I'm pantsing this one! I'm at about 23,000 words, which isn't bad for only being at it a month. Not sure what I think of it, but hey, I often surprise myself.
Hope everyone's well!

Hey Sarah! Just wanted to let you know that you writing so many books is such an inspiration! ✨❤️
SarahQuinnMcGrath
Thanks! Now if only I could get more people to buy them . . . . It’s so nice to hear from you! I hope you’re doing well.

Strings is DONE! Completely. Done. I'm proud of it. Will be starting the next within the next month . . . I need a little brain break!

Ok, just a question if anyone even wants to answer this--I was thinking about the Ambys and don't think I'll enter. I won an Amby for Women in the Woods last year, which, lovely. I also won the Pretty in Punk Awards for Darkheart a year or so ago. Also, amazing. I was very proud. But here's the thing . . . I neglected to make use of the prize packages with the stickers because . . . I am so particular about my book covers that I think the stickers interfere with the aesthetics of them. So I felt bad that I won and didn't even make use of the prizes. Does anyone else feel that way? I am so particular about the way my book covers look.
What do you all think of the stickers for book covers? I don't know. Would you use them? Anyway, I just don't feel like doing the Ambys. I'm only doing the Wattys cause there's a real prize involved, there. No matter what sort of prizes I win on Wattpad, I'm not going to get a lot of reads, here. It just ain't gonna happen.

@SarahQuinnMcGrath I don't put them on my covers, but I do include them in my awards portfolio with their respective competition.

@SarahQuinnMcGrath If the contest matters to me, I'll put sicker on while it is relevant/fresh. Then I take it off.
JonLeePeto
@SarahQuinnMcGrath I don't mind stickers on covers. Visually, I guess I don't worry whether they integrate or not. They are like clouds in the sky, something like that? It's good to win, I presume. And it's good that your work fits into a Watty's category. My eligible work doesn't, not really, so I decided there probably is no point in submitting it. Is anyone getting lots of reads on Wattpad these days? I wonder...
SarahQuinnMcGrath
Oh yay! And I had a couple books added to Wattpad’s @fright page, as well: Darkheart and Strings (not that it’s ready!).
