I’m in the home stretch to get Fester Descent edited and proofread ahead of the February 28 release date. It’s always a weird time during the revision of a book – trying to balance the desire to publish the best possible story with the fact that I’m sick unto death of reading it. The image above represents perhaps the fifth or sixth copy I’ve revised since the “final” draft was written.
I’ve also had a lot of good input, including from my wife NancyAnne and my Aunt Claudia who have graciously read the book with a sharp eye for spelling and punctuation errors – of which there is no shortage. I’m stiff finding plenty of errors as well. Most of those tabs are actually cutting the fat – removing excess and repetitive verbiage. Of which there is no shortage.
Now comes the most odious part of preparing the launch of a book – the marketing. Time to dive back into the sewer of algorithm necromancy and keyword conjuration. Also, I’ll be looking for beta readers, so if you’re interested, please drop me a line at crawford@sweetweaselwords.com.
