I got my review back today on the book.
Here is what the editors had to say:
" The addition of a Prologue for this genre of manuscript is quite a good one, as it’s good to get to know and trust the author and know a little bit about the scope of the story."
and
"Jodi, this is a true memoir of ups and downs, trials and tribulations. You write well..."
On to the final editing stages! Thank you to my Big Sis, Lindsay for editing it!!

Back Story
Hi Friends!
I decided to start a blog about becoming a published author. The drive has always been there. When I was in middle school my friends and I would pass around a spiral notebook like it was crack. We would take turns writing chapters in a book we would make up. It was great fun.
I have now decided to take my writing to the next level. I have written an inspirational novel about my trials as a seeing person going to a non seeing person and back to a seeing person again. It is quite complex and worth the read!
I want to keep you updated on the process.
In January 2012 I decided to start writing. One night I had the idea laid out and the prologue done. I decided to go online to find a publisher. I found one literary agent who wanted to see the first thirty pages before they decided if they would work with me or not. I spent that weekend writing the first thirty and submitted them via the Internet.
I found out about a week later that they liked my style, and that they were offering to publish me. I spent the next few months (up until yesterday actually) writing the book. It has become a work of art in my mind!!
I knew I was close to being done about a month ago, so I called my agent and signed my contract with him.
I submitted my manuscript to the company today, and I got an e-mail response back right away. They are working on the website to make the purchasing of the novel easier.
Let me tell you, writing a book is not easy! It can be done by anyone, since I believe that everyone has a book in them. The key is to keep coming back to what you have written and making it better and better.
I heard the editing process is a long one. I intend to spend the next month with editors to get it just write for my family and friends.
As soon as the website is up I will post it!!
Also, if you wanted to get started and have more specific questions, leave them below and I will do my best to answer them!
