Secret of Heathcote Manor is still out on submission with several publishers. With the festive season fast approaching, my agent doesn't expect to hear anything back until after New Year. Even though this tale is out on submission, I continue to find ways in which the writing can be improved. Sometimes it seems that the editing process will never end.

Now that Secret of Heathcote Manor is out on submission with publishers I've turned my attention back to Truthseeker again.  I'm currently going through the manuscript prior to sending it to my agent for her to begin work on the line edits. Once we're both happy the tale is in the best possible shape for submission we'll send it out.

 I'm finally able to report that the manuscript for Secret of Heathcote Manor is now out on submission with several leading publishers. The opportunity to have my work read by top drawer editors is something which I didn't have prior to signing with my literary agent. As this is new territory for me, I'm unable to say how long it will take to have the work accepted for publication. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be too long.

I'm currently working through line edits with my agent prior to going out on submission to publishers. So far this has been a fairly painless process and should be completed shortly. As soon as there are any further developments I shall post them.

It's been a while since my announcement that I'd accepted an offer of representation so I thought it might be time for an update. Over the coming weeks I shall be working with my agent, Cindy, on line edits in preparation for her going out on submission to publishers with Secret of Heathcote Manor. I'll share more about this process in future blog posts. An author's journey is often a solitary experience so it's nice to finally have a travelling companion to share the road ahead with.  

These past few days I've been constructing a brand new author website to provide information about my writing journey. I've also constructed a new Facebook page. The following is a list of my social media links: Twitter. @DavidWeller06 Facebook: facebook.com/AuthorDavidWeller06 Author Website: https://davidweller06.wixsite.com/2021 I shall continue to update this blog as well. Featured at the moment on my Twitter page is a video of Georgina Keyes reading the first 700 words of Secret of Heathcote Manor.

I started this blog to chart the progress of my debut novel from first draft through to publication. However, Truthseeker has now been leap-frogged by another of my tales entitled Secret of Heathcote Manor which recently caught the attention of a literary agent. Over the coming months I will chart Secret of Heathcote Manor's progress as I work through the manuscript with my agent in preparation for submission to a publisher. That doesn't mean that Truthseeker will be entirely forgotten as that still features in my long-term plans. Should there be any further developments I shall document them. I hope you will join me on the next stage of my writer's journey
