Out of the Darkness
In Icarus, the Moon and Sun, four uniquely global characters with one all-knowing deity, manifest magic and discover their path. A rule-abiding girl from East Berlin, a well-off girl from SoHo New York, a happy boy from India discovering his sexuality, and a selfless boy from North Korea who doesn't know there's a word for what he's looking for: transgender.
Hello friends, family and readers,
I'm delighted to share this update. Icarus, the Moon and Sun managed to get 833 pre-orders in 30 days, winning "The Future Of" competition.
Here are a few updates:
- I'm currently not impressed by any of the interested publishers from the Publishizer platform
- Separately, seeing the momentum of this campaign confirms the potential success of the book
Next steps:
- The campaign results should further attract the interest of agents who can connect me to the big / traditional publishing houses this book deserves. I will use these numbers in my ongoing pitches
- I will keep you posted soon on what that means for this Publishizer platform and your investment
Luckily, on the path to publishing you can't go backwards. And this is a major step forward. When the characters arrived to me, I promised them the largest platform to share their voice with the world. And I will fulfil that promise, though the journey is archaic and winding. Stay tuned :)
Thank you for joining the journey!! It's only up from here!
