Mary and I worked together on a developmental edit and a copyedit, and I designed the cover. Reviewer Helen Hollick talks about what makes Unravelled stand out from the crowd:
There is an abundance of superbly written detail woven into the story, done with skill and compassion. In addition, the presentation of the book is on a par with any mainstream published book, from the quality of the cover to the layout of text; this is how all indie published books should look and feel: professional.Click here to read the full review!
I know firsthand how hard Mary worked to ensure that her novel was just that--professional--and that it could compete with novels coming out of the big publishing houses. And when I saw Unravelled in Sarah Johnson's post about new World War I novels back in October, I was very proud to note that the cover totally holds its own among all of the other big-published books on the list. Mary's recognition is proof that hard work, dedication to craft and quality, and enlisting help when you need it are the keys to indie-publishing success!
