Yesterday, Amy was about to turn twenty-six. She didn’t have much: a decent job, too much student debt, an ex she couldn’t quite get over. Today, that’s all gone. Today is Amy’s birthday—her thirteenth birthday—and the first day of seventh grade. Her entire adult life vanished overnight. Amy doesn’t know how she got here or how she can get back. If she can get back. If she confides in the wrong person, she could be ridiculed, bullied, committed, even killed. So how can she tell the wrong person from the right one? On top of all this, Amy has to survive middle school, again. All the bullies, mean girls, belittling teachers, and hormone-crazed hellions are still there. Every cutting comment hurts just as much the second time around. And what’s the story with that strange snake symbol she sees everywhere, or the guy who seems to know way more about her than he’s willing to tell? I Am Not Thirteen is an intense and devastating supernatural thriller that will keep you hooked until the very last page.
Testimonial:
Bryony Sutherland is an excellent editor: professional, thorough, engaging, and always helpful. She went above and beyond for me and my book. For my developmental edit, Bryony included thorough and well-organized editing notes, chapter-by-chapter first impressions, a character list (including conflicting character descriptions), and detailed notes on some of the plotting errors and implausible moments within the text. Her notes helped me think about possibilities for my book I’d never even considered before—and I’ve been working on it for several years, so that is saying something! She helped make this book far more streamlined and cohesive, to say nothing of the many grammatical errors she found and fixed. I’m especially grateful for her help in closing plot holes and jettisoning subplots that went nowhere. I would highly recommend her services to any author looking for a developmental editor; she’s worth every penny and more.
