The 1st time I submitted to Voyage, I was aiming for top 10 (cause why not??) but I long listed instead (still an accomplishment). Then I revised and resubmitted and this time I’m a top 10 finalist! Don’t give up 🖤 #WritingCommunity

Currently reading an arc of a book that’s very similar to my manuscript. Similar lines, paragraphs, themes, writing style…& idk whether to be super concerned about it or celebratory about the fact that I just found the perfect comp #WritingCommunity
