In related notes, I’ll need help editing and formatting the text.
And of course, I want a cover illustration.
Last (and not to be too casual about it), I’ll need to figure out distribution and/or publishing. I could try for one of these indie presses or just throw it up on itch.io. We’ll see

Suppose there’s better ways and times to do this … but I’ve never been good at announcements.
I’m going to be pursuing indie/self publishing for my YA novel Kids Can Be Cruel! I’m so excited to get this book about a middle school fight club and the kids in it to all of you by March next year

I never posted this here, but this is a commission I got from @ennuikal.bsky.social ! It’s Maria again — struggling with game controls that aren’t keyboard and mouse.

And that’s a wrap! Sorry for bugging any of you with those copycat posts the last couple years. No matter the outcome of this publishing journey, the nature of my posting will change soon (tm). Hopefully in a more engaging way… or at least a way that feels less soul-crushing on my end.

KIDS CAN BE CRUEL
Maria Nievez enters her Catholic middle school’s fight club to find her missing best friend. She uncovers her Ohio hometown’s secrets, child-run conspiracies, and subterranean battlegrounds. But her greatest challenge? An unwanted new friend. #questpit #Q #YA

Ok wow the last post was almost a month ago.
I think I’ll start posting trivia about my querying project
(And try not to clout-chase too much in the meantime lol)
So fun fact 1:
The khaki cargo pants and dark windbreaker combo here are close what I typically wore back in my Catholic school days.

Wow! You all really liked that one, huh?
This is the most eyes I’ve ever had related to one of my books. Thank you so much!
Here’s Maria thanking you for the support, too (in my own style (drew this during my work break, lol)).

When Maria’s best friend disappears, she digs deep for answers — under her Ohio hometown’s streets and the long-standing adolescent fight club there. Her opponents in the octagon may hold the answers. If only she didn’t make enemies with the transfer rich girl.

KIDS CAN BE CRUEL
Her best friend is missing, maybe forever.
Her hometown’s secrets are coming to light.
Her legal guardian is making her hang out with the new kid.
Maria Nievez feels desperate, so when her middle school’s underground fight club offers answers, she joins the fray.

Here’s a good out of context #WIP from the book. Technically not in progress, since this is my #amquerying book, but who’s really keeping track :^)
