Putting Christmas in a Book # Giveaway

December 9, 2019 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

Hey y’all. As I mentioned in my last post, I’m all about Christmas. But what happens when your editor asks if you can move your story from Spring to Christmas when you’re doing her editorial revisions in Sept? You do it. But I’ll be honest, it was hard to get in the Christmas mood when […]

Putting Real Life On Hold # Giveaway

October 10, 2019 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

I’m in the throes of a deadline again. When I turned in the last book, I took a month off. I wrote for a month. Then my editor sent my revisions on the book I just turned in. Once I finished revisions, I had to supply cover details and artwork. I finished that just in […]
