Wednesday Once Again!
Added 2021-02-25 02:49:12 +0000 UTCHello, everyone! Short post today, as I've only got a few updates to share. First, the manuscript is nearly done - I got all of the formatting issues worked out and am giving it an edit pass as well as compiling some appendices based on the information page I've been hosting on the HFY wiki, so the print version will have the glossary and an index of the journal pages just like the online version does. That should only take a day or so to finish up, so I'll be submitting the book and ordering the proof copy either tomorrow or Friday.
When I submit for the proof copy I'll also send out individual messages to anyone who doesn't have a shipping address listed on the profile - I can see them for some of you, but not everyone. I'll order the books for those who have addresses listed as soon as the print copy is available. If you're reading this in mid-March and feel like you've missed out, don't worry - just shoot me a message and I'll grab a few more author copies.
The Kindle edition will happen sometime during that window and will likely be a huge pain in the ass due to the image formatting issues, but it shouldn't take all that long in the end.
Finally, I was hoping to post the cover art for my upcoming story today but it looks like it's not quite ready yet. I'll post it when I get the final version from Harry, along with the first chapter of the story - even if it's not on a Wednesday!
It's exciting seeing this so close to being an actual brick of paper - and I do mean brick, since this is going to be about twice the thickness of the Grand Design paperback. I don't think they'll have a proof copy to me in time for next Wednesday's post, unfortunately, but I'll keep you updated with any new developments here.
