Hello everyone
Hello everyone. It's great to be here.
There was a mention about Tiger Publications in another group so I decided to come here and read some of the postings and was surprised to see my name mentioned by Brian:
I'm not sure if this means anything, but one of their editors, Lea Schizas, has her first book coming out with Living Waters Publishing and her “awesome” new agent is… Aidana WillowRaven.

I'd like to respond to this post by Brian,please.
Hi Brian. I do have my first book coming out with Living Waters but it's not my first published book. I am aware of all the talk about Living Waters but as a signed and contracted author, and with behind the scenes discussions with a few other authors who are in the same boat, we haven't had any indications our trad contracts will not be carried out. Foolish or not, we're at a wait and see position since many of us have other books we are working on or sent out to other publishers.
As for Aidana, yes, it's a confict of interest seeing her connection with LW, and I told her so. My contract with Aidana was for this book to be published with LW. So what I wrote about her still stands true for me because I was able to get a trad contract and until she proves me otherwise, I can't say anything to the contrary.
Now, for Tiger Publications. I am one of the editors but can't help you with behind the scenes information only from what I've experienced with my dealings with some of the authors I've edited for and with the publisher. Once a book is accepted, one of the editors is offered the ms to edit it. I've specified which genres I am familiar with as far as arcs goes and usually am offered these genres.
I have had no negative feedback from any of the authors I've edited about the publishing house nor any concerns they may have.
As for my dealings with LW and Aidana, anyone here who knows me knows that I am open and don't shy away providing information I have experienced.
I'm not sure how much help I will be as far as Tiger Publications is concerned because my dealings with the publisher, from an editor's point of view, has been terrific but limited to a one to one with authors.
Anyway, it's great to be here and looking forward meeting everyone.
