Black ice becca fitzpatrick summary

Back before I’d sold any of my stories, I was in an online writing class and then an in-person writing group with a young woman who was writing a sort-of LDS teen romance novel.  She had a great “voice” for writing YA novels, and I was sure that she would eventually get published.  However, to my dismay, she kept rewriting that same novel, making various changes after it got rejected by agents and/or editors.

I told her that wasn’t a smart thing to do, because different editors and agents have different tastes, and so changing the story to fit advice from one might actually make the next person she submitted to less likely to want it.  Instead, I advised, she should just keep submitting the same version to different places, and spend her time working on new novels.

She ignored my advice, and that much-revised novel went on to become Hush, Hush, the first in a series of international bestselling novels about a teenage girl’s relationship with a fallen angel.  The fourth and final book, Finale, will be released next week.
