Boarding School Trauma and Recovery.

Today, I wanted to update you the progress of my second book, Boarding School Trauma and Recovery.

As I shared in my first post (which you can read here) what I thought would only take a few months is now over two years in the making.

Since last posting several things to note have happened with my book.

1. I submitted a book proposal to the publisher, Rouledge. Routledge have published quite a few books on Boarding School Syndrome area.
2. I received word from the publisher that they could be interested as long as I was able to find an audience to read the book and to reduce my word count of 140,000.
3. Routledge advised me to reduce the word count to 100,000 and reduce the references in order to proceed.
4. I spent approximately two months editing and managed to reduce the word count to the desired 100,000 words.
5. I then submitted the manuscript to Routledge.
6. In the last couple of weeks the publisher has mentioned that they have read through the manuscript and think that the proposal and manuscript, "look great" and that they would like to move to the next step and "send(ing) them out to reviewers."
7. The manuscript is now with my reviewers.

So now I wait until my reviewers send in their opinions. They will decide whether the book is worthy of being published or not.

If they decide that it is not publishable, hopefully I will get some feedback to what I can change to improve it.

If not I will look at finding other publishers.

In the meantime I would love to get some support from you.

Routledge has said that the bigger the audience, and the more interest, the more likely they will take me on.

So if you are interested in supporting my book, leaving a positive review on Amazon and sharing my book then please do show your interest in by entering your email address below.

What I am looking for is people who are willing to be supporters of this book. I would love for those that are interested to read it, if they like it to leave a review on Amazon and then share it with others.

I can then share with the potential publishers that I have an audience of people who will buy it.

I will use this list to just update people about where the book is with its publication and when it is released:
