✨First Pass Pages✨This is such a fun stage in publishing because it's the first time I get to see my manuscript in typeset, which makes it suddenly feel all the more real! I still don't think it will fully hit me that this book is going to be published until I hold the hardbound copy in my hands 😂 Also, a little fun fact: Chapter 21 (The Mademoiselle with the Silver Rose) was one of my FAVORITES ever to write. 💫👑🌹⚔️ * * * #thequeensrising #letthequeenrise #writers #writersofinstagram #firstpasspages #publishing #amwriting #yafantasy #authorsofinstagram

I’ve just completed reviewing my first pass pages for FROZEN REIGN, meaning I’ve finished tweaking any final changes for this book. My writing work for the BURNING GLASS trilogy is officially done! What a surreal feeling. It’s like Sonya and I, author and character, are shaking hands at the end of a very long journey. She’s saying, “Thanks for putting up with me,” and I’m saying, “I hope I did your story justice. I promise I tried my best.” Okay, let’s get real. We’re not shaking hands; we’re sobbing on each other’s shoulders. This debut series is a rite of passage we’ve crossed together, each of us taking turns dragging the other forward when it seemed impossible. Thanks for the wild ride, Sonya. I will miss my reckless empath. ❤️ ... #frozenreign #firstpasspages #burningglass #burningglassseries #burningglasstrilogy #iloveya #amrevising #yafantasy #yafantasyseries #booknerd #authorlife #booknerdigans #bookstagram #ireadya #yalit @katherinetegenbooks @adamsliterary @epicreads @harperchildrens @harperteen
