It's been such a crazy few months that I nearly forgot to mention what I consider THE coolest opportunity Tellan has given me so far! My Mum lovingly hunted down some Beta readers that were within my target age-range, gave them an old copy of the manuscript and then told them they would have to email me feedback (In the end they insisted on meeting me face-to-face, so I popped into their high-school on my way from Wellington to Dunedin).
It was utterly amazing listening to them rant and rave about all of the characters they loved! I was worried going into the classroom that they would have nothing to say and it would end up being really awkward, but it was epic. They inspired me to go home and finish the round of edits I was working on at that time.
To see the manuscript met with such enthusiasm certainly makes all of the hard-work worth-it!
