Lots and lots of submissions and edits to wrangle this week…
Pressing Matters: Week of March 25-29, 2013
Editing
- Working on supplemental-materials edits for City of Devils by Justin Robinson – this is definitely not something to do when a drink is nearby, lest snarfling occur.
- Continuing edits for Infinity Key by Chrysoula Tzavelas and II Crimsonstreak by Matt Adams.
Production
- Requested a new proof of The Other Half of the Sky to compare glossy to matte covers. This one’s gotta be perfect…
- Art demigod Chris is finishing the wraparound cover for Blue Diamond Delivery, Anne E. Johnson’s followup to Green Light Delivery. Can’t wait to share it!
- Got a full wraparound cover layout from artist Rio Griffiths for The Daughter Star by Susan Jane Bigelow – it’s gorgeous!
- Finding some really weird line-break errors in Blue Diamond Delivery‘s layout, as well as The Daughter Star. Gotta fix those before they ship…
Reviews, Promotions, and Buzz
- Are you going to WonderCon this weekend? Be sure to stop by and visit Justin Robinson in Booth 69 (yes, that really is his booth number) in Small Press Alley! We hear he has goodies to pass out, and also he gets sad and lonely if you don’t go show him the love. And a sad writer is a writer who stabs kittens. Think of the kittens.
- A very thoughtful, intelligent review of The Other Half of the Sky up on Goodreads. Nice to see those NetGalley copies getting some attention!
- You still have time to enter the Bibliognome Leprechaun Literary Haiku Throwdown – among the prizes are some Candlemark & Gleam digital editions!
Sundries
- We’ll be digging into the slush pile over the weekend. Brace those red pens!
- FINALLY done rebuilding the royalties database. Just in time to have to enter a few months’ worth of data!
- A medieval helpdesk has trouble with these newfangled “book” things – not exactly historically accurate, but completely hilarious!
- eBooks are a different genre from print – or could be. You know how much we love the idea of ARGs, transfiction, and the like…would love to see what’s possible with all of this.
