Welcome back. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.
For my latest book, FAB (Friends Against Bullying) Club, I'm experimenting with a couple of things. I've had the book edited by FirstEditing.com (highly recommended. For more info, see my blog), but I wanted more feedback on how the book reads. So about a dozen of my friends are doing a crowd edit. It's a great way to get feedback on how the book works in the real world before going to publication. And it has given me a lot of editing to do!
You can read more about the process of that on the blog, http://alexhallatt.wordpress.com .
The other thing I am trying is Wattpad. It is meant for older readers, but if you want to see the final draft of the book (and feedback is welcome), I'm serialising it there.
