![]() ![]() There wasn’t too much to change in terms of the characters, perhaps a little strengthening, but I find it very hard to change my characters. When I spoke to my editor at Sourcebooks she gave me some initial things to address – the cliffhanger ending had to be changed to give the reader a more satisfying conclusion to the story. I started writing The Cellar back in 2010, about four months after I started writing, and that’s the version that’s still on Wattpad today, so there has been a lot of content/developmental editing. ![]() After the guest post you should find information on The Cellar and Natasha Preston’s web links. I chose the topic – when you hear something’s gone from self-published to traditionally-published, you hope that improvements have been made where necessary. Tez Says: After I requested (and was granted access to) The Cellar, the publisher offered me a spot on the book’s blog tour. ![]()
