All boxed up and ready to go to my first reader. But I don’t yet have her address! I also made copies for Randy and Richard to read at the beach. Both said they wanted to read it.
I worked through a lot of pain, revisited a lot of pain, while writing it. This is one heck of a process. Next step is working on finding a publisher. No easy task because I have to create other documents for this step.
Co-authored by my deceased son, Charles, it includes brilliant rap lyrics from his notebooks I call his “Rap Diaries” that reveal a lot of the “why” of his suicide. So it’s my story (a memoir) and a window into the soul of someone who suffered from depression and addiction and died by suicide.
What an emotional labor of love.
So proud of you. Go girl.
To say I’m emotionally spent today would be an understatement!
Such an accomplishment!
Oh my gosh. That is was, Leigh. That it was.
Anne Moss,
Ray McAllister is now helping other authors get published, and with promoting, etc.
Let me know if you want to know more.
Certainly worth a conversation. I was plotting strategies last night. I don’t think I am going directly to publishers. I was thinking agent and was researching consultants.
