Wow. Anna wrote a rather flattering review of my silly magical TG novel, and said my next one should have the TransScripts logo. Is there a vetting process or is it just us chickens here? I'd be honored to sport that badge-- Amazon being Amazon, I could probably redo my current cover with it.

Also being one of us you get to use us all for free when it comes to proof reads etc. If you trust us enough, that is. Anna xx

If it's okay, sometime this week I'll redo the Threading cover and include the logo. Are we going to have "Publishing House" page or stick with this bulletin board? I'd kick in for hosting fees if needed.

I'm building a website at the mo as well as a facebook page and I'll try and open a twitter account as well. To start with I'm tacking the site onto my personal site so it won't cost but I hop we can raise the funds through donations to cover the costs of hosting properly. First year will be about £50 then it'll probably go up, these things always do. I don't like asking the girls for money because I can't contribute any. Anna xx

On the links page I have included Chrissy, Kat, Tanya, Bryony, Sam, Madison and myself. I am happy to add any other member of the group if you just let me know. If anyone has books available on Amazon that would need adding to the shop. These books will be pushed on our social media pages when they are set up. You don't have to have published works to be included as a member of the TransScripts family.

Redheads are the best. You should be flattered that Anna has let you join the redhead club.

Anna, I'm very much in awe of the work you've done with the website. I hope it comes off and we attract some like minded writers. For my part I have no plans to publish any of my TG work via Amazon or other, similar platforms while my domestic and professional lives don't give me opportunity to charge for anything I do as Tanya. I'm really happy to contribute any of my stories to the website and I'm happy to give my opinion over editing, plotting etc in the context of me being an interested hobbyist. I hope that makes some kind of sense. Cheers, Tanya.

Sorry girls. There's more. Can you just have a read through of this and give ideas etc. Have I missed anything? Is anything wrong? Is it all legal? etc
Let me make one thing clear from the start. We are not a group of professional editors. We don't have decades of experience in traditional publishing and we don't have connections all over the publishing world. But then, if we were, we'd be taking 30% of your book sales in fees and charging you £300 for a book cover. We're not. In fact for your debut novel, we're not going to charge you anything. No upfront costs, no percentage of sales. Nothing. That way, you get to find out whether we're any good at what we do. If you like us, and we like you, after that first book we will ask for just 10% of what your book brings in from sales. That's it.
So what will you get from us in return? We will work with you and your manuscript to eliminate any plot holes, contradictions and flat spots. We will guide you in the production of a final draft that is good enough to put in front of Christina Bowman. Chrissy has an amazing eye for grammatical and punctuation errors and will make your final piece of work sparkle. Then we will work with you to design a professional looking cover for your new book. Something that will make your work stand out from the average transgender fiction that has a bra clad bimbo on the cover. For an extra fee we could even get an artist to do something unique, just for you. The costs of that will depend on the artist who does the work.
Once you have a completed ebook, we will make sure it is correctly put together to send to Amazon, we will submit it, get it added into the Kindle Unlimited scheme and monitor your sales. We will promote your new ebook through our various social media platforms to boost your sales and, where possible, advertise the ebook on Amazon and other platforms. (Unfortunately Amazon has a strict policy on not advertising anything with adult content, which they class a lot of trans fiction as containing.
To find out more please use the form below to contact us. If you would like to send a manuscript for us to look at please email it to
TransScriptsTGF@gmail.com
and we will take a look.
Thanks
Anna xx

Should have said, other than that it's finished. Will launch on Saturday so you have until then to tell me of any problems. I can add things at any time so if anyone's been away during this process just tell me and I'll include you.
