I've just received the developmental edit back from Shawn Reilly Simmons at Level Best Books, and I'm glad to say that she is very happy with the manuscript. Once I've had time to read her comments and suggestions, I'll get to work on the revisions. Once I'm happy that I've done everything I can, I'll send the manuscript back to Shawn for her to complete her Red Line Copy Edits.

The publishing rights for Secret of Heathcote Manor were acquired by Level Best Books in June 2022 with a proposed release date of 19th December 2023. In accordance with the novel production schedule, I sent the completed manuscript to my primary editor on 21st June 2023 for her to complete a developmental edit. The edited manuscript hasn't been returned to me yet, but I'm hoping it will appear in my inbox shortly. For anyone who hasn't read any of my previous posts, the Publishers Marketplace Deal Report below gives a brief summary of the plot.
