Toby Litt

Hello again,
          
          after the excitement of seeing all the love for the Netflix series of Dead Boy Detectives, based on my run on the Vertigo DC comic, I'm coming home to Wattpad.
          
          I have written a paranormal fantasy trilogy - starting with Possessions: The Books Against Ravenglass (Part 1) that I'm very excited about and which I'm going to be sharing with you here soon.
          
          Alongside that, I'm going to be reposting my paranormal fantasy Lilian's Spell Book - one chapter per day, between now and the start of next year. This is already available as an ebook on Kindle, if you can't wait to read more. Originally, it went out exclusively on Wattpad - with your help, reaching Number One on some of the charts.
          
          I hope this new work will find some first friends here.
          
          All best wishes,
          
          
          Toby

You wrote a book a long time about. About a women who moved to a strange town. Her home was weird and she had a connection to one of the people who lived there years and years before. She found her book and down stairs found 4 doors, one was a water room, with a drain in the center and another with vines that trapped her. What happened to that book? I have been searching for years... and I finally redound you

Notes for a Young Gentleman, my new novel, is coming out at the end of March. I've put an excerpt up on my blog, if you're interested. It's a weird old thing. https://wp.me/p3P1oz-il

Just a new year reminder that Lilian's Spell Book migrated to kindle/paperback in August. If you wanted to track it down, you might find a link here - https://tobylitt.wordpress.com/about/books/

For those who read Lilian's Spell Book whilst it was up here, and who asked whether they'd ever be able to buy it in paperback, today's the day.
          
          Publication day.
          
          It's out for kindle and as a print-on-demand paperback.
          
          I've written all about My Wattpad Novel on a site called The Writing Platform.

          Thanks for all your support. If it weren't for the readers here, the Spell Book would still be mouldering on a forgotten shelf.

After four years, 763K reads, 20.9K votes, Lilian's Spell Book is going to disappear from Wattpad at the end of July 2017.
          
          Thank you to all the readers who have commented on it, helped improve it, pointed out mistakes, asked for more.
          
          I'm now going to try Lillian's Spell Book on kindle and other platforms, including publishing hard copies. If you're interested in hearing about this, find and message me on twitter -  @tobylitt.

I think Lilian's Spell Book is going out to publishers again next week.... My agent will be quoting several lovely Wattpad readers comments in her submission. Thank you @bookloveralmighty, @Shelaka, @khuzaima0085 and @kellilorraine.

Every weekend, Lilian's Spell Book seems to pick up new readers - rising up the charts. I don't really understand it, but I am glad.

I excerpted a little thing about What Makes Bad Writing Bad, and it's now up on the Guardian website - causing trouble. http://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/may/20/what-makes-bad-writing-bad-toby-litt

I did an interview with Wattpad's @amberkbryant recently, which I think will be appearing next week. Sharing a little of the thinking behind Lilian's Spell Book.
