Finished Proofing

All the corrections for the page proofs are in the mail. Now I’m really almost totally done editing The Veil Weavers.

There will be the inevitable phone calls, as other people find odds and bits to correct or consider changing, but this may be it for paperwork until the book itself arrives next spring. Or not.

There’s something oddly unpredictable about publishing.

Page Proofs

I’m pouring over the page proofs for The Veil Weavers, making sure every detail is correct. It’s shocking how much still needs correcting – errors that slipped by in the editing process, late changes that weren’t reviewed, and new errors introduced in the page layout process.

I have my last version of the manuscript and the page proofs spread across the kitchen table, as I go through them, page by page. And I take frequent breaks, as my mind goes numb focusing on details.

To WISP or not to WISP

For schools interested in having writers visit (like me), the application deadline for the Canadian Author’s Association Writers in Schools Programs is the end of November. The applications are considered in the order they are received, so get yours in.

I’m available within a 100 km radius of Calgary (with some exceptions).
