Hey lovely Authonomists
I'd just like to say a humungous thank you to everyone who has sent messages and been so thoroughly fab about Coffee At Kowalski's being published - it means the most coming from such a hugely talented bunch of writers as yourselves in this community that I love being a part of.
The main thing about my news is that it proves that Authonomy works. What's more, it proves that just being up on the site can be enough because people are looking - the highest Kowalski's ever reached in the rankings was around 70th - and I was really chuffed to have made the top 100! Just keep plugging and keep visible - because you honestly never know who is searching the site for new writers...
I am honestly still in complete shock about being published - it still doesn't feel real even though the hard work getting my book ready to hit the shelves at the end of the year has already begun.
Just keep believing, keep writing and keep having fun on Authonomy - because, seriously, if it can happen for me it can happen for anyone!!
Big luv

I suspect your premise is a bit shaky, but thanks for the encouraging thought behind it.
And congratulations. Great news for those of us here, and aspiring writers everywhere.
