Sin Eater

Memories Vanish When She Appears

By Amanda Denham

Two years ago, Jayde Holloway discovered she had the power to erase memories when she accidentally wiped the memories of her best friend Jenny at the end of their senior year.

Now, shut off from the world, Jayde exists solely for her role as the Sin Eater, an entity who can take away a person’s every bad memory… for a hefty price. Under her new strict boss Jak, Jayde is lonely. Jak consistently keeps her under his watchful eye through blackmail and constant reminders of all her mistakes.

Travelling back to her hometown of Palmsville, Jayde secretly meets Aiden and Amber, siblings who have a haunted past of their own. The three new friends’ bond as they take a tour of the town Jayde knows so well, sparking the woeful feelings and regrets she has tried so hard to ignore. When her painful memories begin to overwhelm, Jayde must make a choice: remain chained to a familiar but hurtful past or reveal all her darkest secrets for what could be a better future.

Sin Eater is a story about the power of memories, good and bad, with a focus on the importance of friendship.

THE BRIEF

Amanda DenhamAmanda wanted more autonomy over the marketing of Sin Eater, with an increase in sales. She also wanted to use her love of art to raise awareness of teen mental health issues.

None of this was available to Amanda with her previous publisher. Armed with Dawn’s 7 Week Author Course to dive into and complete, combined with the results of Dawn’s manuscript assessment and some 1:1 coaching, Amanda got to work. Our design team then used the original illustrations Amanda created for the front cover and within the pages. We then republished to create a much more professional look inside and out.

Having completed a review of what Amanda wanted to achieve in her personal life and career further down the line, Dawn helped Amanda explore various options available to her, and create a marketing strategy that fits with Amanda’s future goals, and book two is already underway! We can’t wait!
