Lucy Score

Readers of Lucy Score’s (@scorelucy ) new romance novel, “Mistakes Were Made,” will marvel at the cover and sprayed edges. 📖 They’ll anticipate the love story that awaits them on the pages. But all the excitement in the world would still leave readers unaware of just how far this book has traveled to get into their hands.  USA TODAY’s book reporter, Clare Mulroy, followed Score’s novel for an entire year—from Score’s plotting and writing sessions to developmental edits at her Pennsylvania farmhouse to the March 10 publication day in New York City.

Lucy Score’s new novel, “Mistakes Were Made” (out now from Bloom Books), is her most personal yet. With so many characters and stories under her belt, Score typically keeps herself out of her fiction. 📖 But with the character Zoey in “Mistakes Were Made,” Score felt she had more to say. Zoey is diagnosed with ADHD in the book, which Score was diagnosed with at age 38. “It profoundly affected my life up to that point in a negative way,” Score says. “Once I understood more about it, I’ve been able to work with (my ADHD) in a much more empathetic and graceful way. I’m so much nicer to myself than I was.” USA TODAY stepped inside Score’s romance-writing universe to see how her team keeps everything running behind the scenes. Some of her most loyal readers have become marketing staff and proofreaders. Her brother came on board to help with audiobooks and her sister, the author Madison Score, is signed to the small digital publishing company that Score’s fiancé owns.  Read more about how @scorelucy built her modern-day romance empire at the link in our bio.
