There Will Be a Kindle version of WTDA!

Hey guys,

Thank you so much for supporting my novel. It's wonderful to see that it hasn't been forgotten:)

Like the title suggests, there will be a Kindle version of WTDA in a couple of weeks! The estimated timeline is 3-4 weeks; but it could be longer. I will let you guys know when it is out!

Take care!

Welcome to Drama Academy-- The Novel

Dear all,






It seems surreal to me that this day is finally here! "Welcome to Drama Academy" (the novel version) is now available on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Welcome-Drama-Academy-Melody-Mason/dp/1453724478/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1313776606&sr=1-2) and Createspace eStore (https://www.createspace.com/3472161) as we speak!

It has been three and a half years since I posted the first chapter of WTDA online. I still remember how excited I was when I received my first review for WTDA and that exhilarating feeling I have every time I see a review alert or a story alert in my inbox. Thank you, all of you, for sticking with me till the very end. Thank you for recommending the story to your friends; thank you for reviewing and giving me advice on how I could improve as a fanfiction writer.

Throughout the entire process of turning this fanfiction into a novel, there were countless of times that I wanted to give up, that I lost faith in myself and the story. A special thank you to those of you who PMed me over the years to show your support for the novel. Without you, I never would have had the will and strength to finish rewriting. You guys were my motivation to continue and this book is dedicated to all of you- my friends and readers on fanfiction and my supportive family. THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything. I wish I could give you a huge hug instead of just thanking you in the Acknowledgements.

The story will be pulled completely in the near future. I don't like posting A/Ns rather than actual chapters, but it was the only way I could think of to keep in touch with my readers after all this time. If you're still interested in my writing, please follow and subscribe to my Blogspot: http:/www(dot)melloveswriting(dot)blogspot(dot)com/and add me to your Author Alert, so that way you'll be able to see my upcoming updates.

If you decide to give WTDA a chance, I hope you won't be disappointed when you finish all 613 pages (I still don't know how that happened). This is my first novel so I know it is far from perfect, and letting you guys down is one of the things that I worry about the most. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I guess this is my final goodbye to the fanfiction version of "Welcome to Drama Academy". This doesn't mean I'm done with fanfiction. I'm not :) Thank you all again for the support and encouragement over the years and for helping me fulfill my dream. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
