👋 ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Sky! I’m a DC-based writer currently in the process of trying to get my middle grade horror traditionally published. I’m hoping to take you with me on the journey while sharing lessons learned along the way.

I love to see more traditional publishing on authortube! Can't wait to see more!

Hello and welcome to author tube. I’m still pretty new to all this malarkey and finding my way around too. Look forward to hearing what you have to say. Best wishes!

Hi Sky! I'm also a Skye, although spelled different. 😊 Welcome to AuthorTube!

I also prioritize flexibility even quite late in the process. It's crazy to me how some people have such a solid vision from early on--I like to play! 🎉

Love this!! Nice to meet you, Sky! :) I don't think I follow any authortubers who write middlegrade - i was so excited to hear you mention that! AND ALSO - I'm a massive horror fan! I can't wait to follow your journey!

Excited to find another writer! Subbing and following along for the process. Love what you said about pantsing vs plotting. I have found my process to be pretty similar. I used to be only a pantser but I find myself becoming more and more of a plotter as I go.
