Things are evolving—not just for Miss Fox, but for me, too!

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be using to bring my journey of discovery and storytelling to life.

If you’re unfamiliar, Inkitt is a fantastic platform for writers and readers alike, offering unique features that make the creative process even more exciting. One of the best parts? It encourages collaboration! You can leave comments and reviews, giving me valuable feedback to refine and improve my story. I’m all ears, so don’t hold back!

Another bonus is Inkitt’s insightful data on reader engagement—like read times and interactions. This helps me better understand what you love most about the story, making it a truly collaborative experience.

And here’s the icing on the cake: I’ll retain full rights to my work unless I’m offered (and decide to sign) a publishing deal.

It’s a win-win for all of us, and I couldn’t be more excited to take this next step. Let’s dive into Miss Fox’s world together—page by page, mystery by mystery! ✨📖

It's a win-win! 🤩
