Spring is about renewal. It’s about forgetting the past and forgiving yourself and letting the new season begin. Back in Catholic school, I like May Day as they let us outside for a few minutes and we were able to play in the newly blooming flowers (that is when they actually bloomed.)
So for the forgiveness I have to give myself. I submitted into Kindle Scout my not copyedited version of Queen Uncovered. The rules are clear that you cannot change once you submit. I noticed the moment I saw the mockup. At least the story edits were done on the one I submitted. This is my biggest mistakes far. If I do win for whatever the fates decide, then I know at the end the winner gets to submit an updated version. So fingers crossed.
For marketing this genre, I am hoping the spring brings me answers. Even if I don’t win, I do need to figure out an answer to this.
I’m sure I’ve made much bigger mistakes in life, but time generally helps me heal or probably helps me forget.
This Sunday my husband wants to go to the beach. EEK. As the pregnant lady, I’m trying to avoid the heat that he wants to go to. We shall try though. Perhaps he’s right and i should go outside. It might be good for me. And it will help me forget the silly mistake I made in not showing the best work I could have.
There should be a #Forgiveyourselfforrushing as a life rule. When I rush through things, that’s when I make mistakes.
Anyhow if you have time and would love to read a novel where King Arthur Legend meets Divergent then vote! As always thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Kindle Scout handle manuscript updates after submission?
Kindle Scout does not allow authors to change or update their manuscript once it has been submitted — the rules explicitly prohibit edits during the campaign. However, if a campaign wins and is selected for publication, the author gets the opportunity to submit an updated version at the end of the process, allowing final corrections before publication.
What book genre does Queen Uncovered fall into?
Queen Uncovered is described as a novel that blends King Arthur legend with the style of Divergent, placing it in a genre that combines Arthurian fantasy with dystopian young adult fiction. The author submitted it to Kindle Scout, Amazon’s reader-powered publishing platform, where readers could vote on books they wanted to see published.
Should you rush submitting a book to Kindle Scout or wait until it’s fully edited?
Authors should wait until their manuscript is fully copyedited before submitting to Kindle Scout, because the platform does not allow changes once a submission is made. Submitting an unedited version is considered a significant mistake, as the campaign copy represents the author’s best work to potential readers and Amazon’s selection team.
