Wit & Travesty

We’re Excited! We’re in a Blog Tour! And We’re Excited!

UPDATES

tumblr_newqe1zndV1s6r34io1_1280Welcome back, friends.

Not too far from now, we’ll be part of a fantastic blog tour for Lauren Skidmore’s upcoming book, What is Lost, the sequel to What is Hidden. I got the chance to read What is Hidden when it came out last year. This girl has been busy. I’d know because we were actually friends before she was famous, you know.

What really impressed me about her first novel was her superb world-building skills. The book itself takes place in a Renaissance Italy setting where everyone’s donning the masquerade masks. Everyone knew their place based on the color and elaboration of the mask. The setting surrounding her cast of characters was fun to see. It’s a kind of place you want to visit, you know?

I’m most intrigued about reading What is Lost, mainly because of how Skidmore plans to link her two works. She plans to follow the villain as a main character on his own journey, as it were. Should be interesting.

We just wanted to give you a heads up about our part in this blog tour so you can read her first book first so my review of the second book makes more sense.

The blog tour will take place in March, so watch out for us on March 22nd. Now you can see just how ridiculous my excitement is.

What would you like for me to add in my review? Any questions?

    Ask about her research methods! I’d love to hear more about her approach to world building.

    Why Hello! I would like you to know that I have nominated you for the “Sisterhood of the World Blogging Award”! (https://brandedexplorer.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/peer-recognition-sisterhood-of-the-world-bloggers-award/)
    I don’t have any expectations regarding the “obligatory response post” – honestly, I get that it is annoying to a lot of people. But I wanted you to know that I think your blog is awesome and I am hoping other people find your blog and love it as much as I do.
    Best of luck to you!

  • WRITER'S LIFE ADVICE
Jessica Frazier
Whitney McGruder has created a vast and imaginative world in Destiny Seeker with surprises to delight the reader at every turn. Readers can settle in to devour the diverse and ingenious magic Destiny Seeker has to offer. I highly recommend it.

Whitney did a copy-edit on my third novel, Checkmate. She was a pleasure to work with, and helped me give my novel that final polish that it needed before publication. Put her on your list for editors that help your work shine!
Jonathan Baker
Whitney and I worked together in a writing feedback group some years ago and have remained in touch since then. From the beginning, I was struck by her absolute responsibility as an editor. Even in the capacity of a group member, not even being employed or contracted by me to edit my work, Whitney was unerringly punctual, thorough, and accurate with her feedback. Her advice is genuinely insightful and I believe the marketability of my work was noticeably increased due to her guidance. I so value her skills that I still turn to her as a resource after three years of working with her in-person have passed.
Jessica Thompson
Whitney was great to work with. The whole experience was professional, yet flexible. Helpful, yet kind. My manuscript improved so much through Whitney's guidance that I received my first book deal!
Tori Nix
Working with Whitney was a breath of fresh air! I enjoyed every minute of my experience with bringing my book to life! Whitney not only did an exceptional job, she is also a very kind, patient, and I hope to continue to do business in the future!
Rachel Barnard
I won a contest via Wit & Travesty in the summer of 2017. The prize was a professional edit of the first 100 pages of a WIP. My middle grade fantasy was only 90 pages, so she read the entire manuscript. She was communicative and positive about the project. Her edits markedly polished up my manuscript and were easy to understand.
Brittany Olsen
Whitney helped me with two short projects written for children, and she was very pleasant to work with. She has an eye for detail, helping me with small grammar errors as well as insights about adding scenes that would enhance my story. Her turnaround time was extremely quick, which I really appreciated when on a deadline!
