Belated Intro

Hey all, Veena here. I've been here awhile , lurking in the comments and just realized I never introduced myself. Or did I? (Typical 🙄). Am I shy or rude? Probably both(usually unintentionally), but more the former. I was born, raised and educated on the East Coast, so you can blame the sass on that. Hah. I now live in Montana. Went to my first Storycon this year and learned so much.

Anyway, I'm an author with a fairly polished manuscript (to the best of my newb ability) at that fork in the road - should I keep querying in the hopes of trad pub or learn to put on yet another hat and self pub. 🤷🏽‍♀️

80k SFF. a young protagonist in a story with adult themes. (where does such a book go on today's bookshelf?)

Funny, emotionally driven, space-faring.

Working logline:

The story follows young Ishika Husk, an until now Earthbound science prodigy bound for Mars, where she must help terraform the Red Planet after her family convinced humanity to colonize/occupy/settle it.

I've been enjoying this space quite a bit and appreciate being here!

Thanks for reading and sharing.

Planning to do the 30k in 30d in September 👉🏽
