WIP update

📚 Project: T.A.G.

Dystopian new adult near-future sci-fi trilogy

Book 1 

📗 Manuscript complete!

✍️ 90,000 words, 23 chapters

▶️ With developmental editor 📝

I was querying agents, but decided to pivot and work with a developmental editor before doing any more. 

Book 2

📕 Draft complete!

✍️ 100,000 words, 27 chapters

▶️ Out with final beta reader 📤

Waiting to hear back from my last beta reader. Will then hand it off to developmental editor.

Book 3

📘 Work in progress…

✍️ 37,000 words, 11 chapters

▶️ Goal to finish draft by end of year 🥂

Finishing by year-end may be a stretch, given all the work I’ve been doing on book 1 with my developmental editor. However, I’ve now done a detailed outline of the final book, which may give me the momentum I need. Fingers crossed.
