Success for Suzie Wilde
By Charlotte Comley
If you haven't heard of UNBOUND, you would be wise to check it out! Submitting to them certainly helped Suzie Wilde.
Suzie writes;
After the success of The Wake (Bookseller book of the year 2014) published by UNBOUND, I decided to submit to them. I loved the innovative mix of traditional publishing and crowd funding. I don't have the energy or skill to do the whole self-publishing thing, especially as my artistic side wants a beautiful edition as well as a professionally edited debut novel. I'm lucky enough to have not only been accepted, but am being editied by Liz Garner, daughter of my hero Alan Garner.
I was fully-funded in just two months, a record for a first-time author
with Unbound, and The Book of Bera will be published in 2016. It's YA/Crossover
Viking thriller, with a fantasy element. I began researching and writing it in
2010 and have written several children's books before submitting this one. I
wanted my debut to be the best I can do.

Congratulations Suzie - getting funded so quickly that's really solid affirmation!
