A Goodreads user asked Malorie Blackman:

Do you have any advice for someone who's written a book and is anxious about sending it off?? P.S. I loved Noughts and Crosses and can't wait to buy and read the rest of the series

Malorie Blackman Make sure it's as good as you can possibly make it before you send it off. Make that first impression count. Ensure it has no spelling mistakes and that it is professionally laid out, i.e each page is numbered, chapters begin on a new page and the lines are double-spaced, etc. Hope that helps and good luck.

And if you read any more of my Noughts and Crosses series, I hope you enjoy them.
