T-17 Days: Oh Editing
Another update on my work on Focused Fandom: Cosplay, Costuming, and Careers
Well today's the day I have to change editors.
it's not a crisis – my editor landed a killer job interview which killed the chance she'd get to the book. This was on top of some illness going around and the usual chaos.
Fortunately I had two other editors in the wings, and the next person in the que was up and ready to do it – at a discount. Of course I still have one spare editor whose total dynamite, so I need to keep her in mind for yet other projects . . .
The joy of self-publishing.
I've learned from this that editing really is something to start much earlier, and my attempt to make a condensed timeframe made this a bit more difficult. For my next book using this method I'm clearly going to have to rethink some of my timelines – I think I need to get things edited almost as I work on them.
Still, the book's coming together – if I get the final edits in this weekend, next weekend will be formatting the eBooks, and we're still on track for October 4th . . .
