Party-hats and whistles for everyone!
Our own Lisa Mercado-Fernandez has just self-published her debut novel, The Shoebox, through Abbott Press.
The Shoebox has been a labor of love for Lisa for years. She was one of my first editing clients and has remained one of my most dedicated. All through the process of first Developmental Editing and then Copy & Line Editing her debut novel, Lisa remained focused, endlessly creative, and utterly committed to bringing her vision to life.
She saw a young man, a young woman, and a long, sandy beach in the sunlight.
That vision is now a reality.
So please, folks, if you love a wonderful, poignant love story beautifully told, hie on over to Amazon and buy Lisa’s novel. Then please write her a review. Amazon uses reviews (and stars) in their recommendation algorithm to generate further sales. The more positive reviews she has, the more sales she’ll be able to make.
Abbott Press is the new self-publishing arm of Writer’s Digest, and I really like the job they did on Lisa’s book cover and interior design. She says she enjoyed working with them very much.
So—congratulations, Lisa!
May your Peter and Maddy live and love forever on that eternal sunny beach on Cape Cod.
