The big news is here!
Have you been wondering what I was doing for those months when I was converting the Vecto story into the BitNovel format? Now you know! I have the first draft completed, and the story will be published by Vic's Lab, LLC, a start-up company that wants to create a community of authors and readers of young adult science fiction and original English light novels. (This won't affect my Wattpad schedule -- see below.)
On top of that, I have one of the best editors for the job. He's worked at Del Rey, Tor, Tokyopop, and DC Comics and has been nominated for a Nebula award for one of his books. More information will be released closer to publication, which is expected in November.
Since my Vecto story carries inspiration from anime and superheroes, it's awesome to have an editor who has worked in these areas. The working title to my book has been changed to Vecto: Vengeance, so the cover will likely change.
Also, free copies of the draft version of the book are available on VicsLab.com for a limited time to registered users of VicsLab.com. The idea is to get reader feedback through the editing process as well as build a community of people who like similar things. (Sorry, I can't release the whole book on Wattpad at once, but I can in increments.)
VicsLab.com only has a handful of members starting out, but hopefully that will change. The site is still in its early stages (alpha or beta), but it has potential. It's open to free registrations via social media login. You can sign up without a social media account, but you will need an invite code. I have some that I can give out, so contact me for them.
The site doesn't say if it is accepting more submissions, but if you write similar stuff as I do, I'm sure you can ask via the site contact form.
What does this mean for my story on Wattpad?
Don't worry, I'll still release bits of the story until the whole draft is on Wattpad. If you decide to read the whole book on VicsLab.com, please also vote and comment on the story on Wattpad, too, as I release the parts.
If you have any questions, comment below, and I'll get back to you.
