Woo Hoo!! My novel's done! It's off to the publisher

[animalracer]

The editor and I have been through the manuscript three times, and will send it off to the publisher soon. I'm so danged excited I'm going a little nutty.

If anyone would like to reserve one of the 200 limited-edition first printing, or would just like to know more about the book, check out the link below. For those of you who already reserved yours, thanks again for your support and encouragement.

Animal,

I'm sure your publisher is very experienced in making sure your manuscript is ready for printing. Take it from my experience as to having a manuscript proof read enough times. I had a book published 2 years ago. I must have proof read that manuscript at least 6 times and had others read it as well for spelling and grammatical errors. Even with all of that, every time I read the book now, I'm still finding errors with spelling. During a proof read, the book/novel must be read very slowly with more attention paid to the spelling, grammar and structure that the story line.

Just a friendly heads up before you commit your novel to printing. And,, Congratulations!! ThumbUpThumbUpThumbUp

I'm using a professional editor, and she has been working diligently on the manuscript. I'm self-publishing, so whatever we send in gets printed.:AGGHH:
I've re-read and proof-read it a bunch of times, but trust her eye more than mine. It should go out by the weekend.

A trick they taught me in college was to proof-read from back to front/right to left. That way you are looking at words instead of sentences. It takes a bit longer, but well worth it if you are looking for perfect spelling.

Congrats on the book. I didn't see a link....
