Publishing True Beauty [Update #1]

I had hoped to get True Beauty edited and ready to send out to companies by mid July, but clearly that hasn't worked in my favor. Editing, re-editing, re-re-editing takes a lot more work that I initially thought. True Beauty should be ready by the time August hits, however, and I'll be sending it out to a handfull of publishing companies in hopes that at least one of them will snag it.

If targetting a publishing company fails after a couple of months, then I'm considering self publication. I really just want my own printed copy of True Beauty so I can hold it up and scream to the world, "YOU SEE THIS, I MADE THIS!" Self publication take s a lot of time, money, and effort, however, and since I'll be entering my final year of high school this year, I'm kind of hesitant to resort to such a method.

I have made quite a few revisions to True Beauty, and I think they've sculpted the entire story much better than before

Just out of curiosity, please answer this poll! It won't effect any decision as to what I'll do with True Beauty, I'm just honestly kind of curious.

I'm also trying to think of a more american friendly name for Mihyun.

Love the characters' names! For Mihyun, what about Miya or Cora or Dawn? Evalyn is a pretty name too. I would love to have a copy of True Beauty. :)

Morisette is a good name for a replacement. Also, the name sounds kind, intelligent, brave, helpful, simple yet sophisticated just as Mihyun portrayed. lol just a suggestion. ^^

I think that the names are a bit off, I don't know... For example, Jongdae can pass with Chen, it sounds good enough, Or Baekhyun, you can pass him with Beacon, it suits him better. Haahaha sorry ):
Anyway, I thinker story will.be published for sure! Good luck. (:
