Review copies for The Last Track land in NJ on Monday, so I’m looking forward the ceremonial opening of the first box. Although the publisher made some slight type-setting changes for enhanced readability based on the proofs those changes, along with about two dozen micro edits, will appear when the book goes to print.
Another noteworthy ( actually a lot more important ) development is that the publisher signed a PR maestro to guide the book through the review cycle. I’ve heard great things about Ellen, thus I’m super psyched she is on board.
Also, the up and coming actor recruited for a full length book podcast is ready for a run-through of the first section. I’m curious to hear what he came up with, especially considering the fact I have given him zero direction thus far. Tentatively we’re getting together this coming Sunday. Hopefully the room explodes with the sound of his great voice.
Awesome and awesomer. Congrats again. It has to feel great to have things progressing after so much hard work!
Much thanks, Pollster. You were there pretty much from the beginning and I thank you for your continued support.
It does feel good at long last.
Wow! So awesome! It’s not even me and I’m squeeing.
Can’t wait to get my hands on my own copy one of these days.
Cyndy, thanks so much!
I’ll make sure to personalize your copy.
And that avatar is looking sharp!
Congratulations on your book! It’s kind of like having a baby; the stuff you do after the gestation and delivery is maybe just as hard as what went before!
Thanks, Phoebe!
I’m actually finding post-delivery harder, though I’m enjoying it more. Which makes partial sense, because I’m older and a little wiser.
Writing–which is its own struggle–preps one for more of the same; it has very little to do with publishing.
I want to get to a place where only the writing matters.
