GALLEY IS READY

Exciting news. The galley has arrived. It's been here for less than forty-eight hours and I've done 89 pages of the 188. Isn't that neat?

Interesting tidbits for you who are contemplating self-publishing with one of the many POD companies--they do a great job, number one. But--if, like me, you can't afford the huge fee for line editing, you will be shocked at how many tiny mistakes you will find when you get that galley back. I am amazed at what I didn't catch!

There are also a few formatting mistakes which are the publisher's responsibility to correct--but you have to point them out on the Proof Sheet. And I found an em dash missing on the back cover. It was in my document I emailed them and without it, the sentence doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense. So I'll point that out.

We're busy this weekend but I'll attempt to complete this at night so I can get to filling out the proof form. Hopefully, this will all be done by Monday.

We're getting closer to holding a book in our hand.
