Sooty Owl Books

Some news coming up soon...exciting stuff! 🙌🏼💥🥳 #writingcommunity

Today will mostly be spent writing... cue celebrations, as a whole day to write is like gold-dust! #amwriting #writingcommunity

So...the book has now been sent off to be turned into an ebook! It feels very exciting, after over two years working on it... #amwriting #writingcommunity

FIGHTING FANTASY MEETS CLASSIC LIT Choose your route. Meet heroes. Battle winged monkeys. Stop stories from being erased forever. View book characters in a whole new light. It’s education...but not as you know it. Fully illustrated, polished and ready to roll. #pitmad #mg #c #fta

In Evermore, favourite book characters come to life! Choose whether to sail the seas with Long John Silver, or cast spells with Dr Faustus. Beware the Jabberwocky and defeat the Wicked Witch...it’s education, only much more FUN. #pitmad #mg #c #FTA (illustrated)

TRAVEL through Evermore and defeat the Wicked Witch. Select your path and meet mad queens, bad demons and sad bugs! This is an introduction to classic English texts that every child will love. (Fully edited and road-tested - and illustrated!) #pitmad #c #mg #fta

Ah, the final day of half term with the kids, then back to school. Sad, because it’s fun having them at home; but it will be nice getting some free time back to finish the edits completely! #WritingCommunity #amediting

It’s #Friyay and I’m feeling in the mood for an editing spree! Anyone with me? #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Oh boy...another error and this is after over a year of editing. This ‘choose your own path’ project is easily one of the hardest creative tasks I’ve ever taken on. Sigh! #amediting #writingcommunity

One of my favourites... #classicliterature #countofmontecristo #writingcommunity

Friday’s here and OH MY GOODNESS I think I’m close to finishing the final edits of my book. So far, the book’s taken over 2 YEARS to finish. 😱 #amediting #writingcommunity

Hello everyone! - has anyone ever created a video trailer before? Are they easy or tricky? #WritingCommunity

Marketing meeting tonight - something we feel woefully out of our depth with! Any tips, anyone? #WritingCommunity

Editing today and nearly had a heart attack to find a big error in the middle - not good when writing a choose-your-own-adventure, and this is after several years of writing / editing! Gah!! #WritingCommunity

Interesting article about getting kids into reading - theguardian.com/books/2019/m… #amwriting #writingcommunity

The main edits are now DONE. That’s taken nearly a year, and there’s still one final edit to go...when I started this choose your own adventure project, I had no idea how complex it would be! #naive #amediting #writingcommunity

Had moment of excitement, thinking I had not too much work on today, and could thus do some editing. Then the work emails came pouring in. Groan! #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Squeezing in a brief bout of editing today - sometimes it’s so hard to know when to leave it alone and say IT’S FINISHED - I find it impossible! 🤣 #amediting #writingcommunity
