| YUMMMM |
I had a wonderful Easter surprise yesterday, in
addition to the Lindt Dark Chocolate and Coconut bar left on my laptop (thank
you Easter bunny!)—an email from my editor with the final galley copy of
HAUNTED SOULS attached! The galley copy
of a manuscript is the last step in production at my publishing house. The pre-galley file comes from production
back to the editor and author formatted for printing and e-files. No more writing edits are allowed at this
point—only line corrections that may need adjustments due to the formatting
process. Each correction goes back on a
master list with the page and line number associated with the change. Once these small changes have been made, the
galley comes back, ready to go, once the author signs off.
I’m a perfectionist, so I had gone through the
pre-galley with a fine-toothed comb and retained the list of any issues I
found. With that list, I was able to go
through the galley quickly, en route to Easter brunch at my sister-in-law’s
house, and double-check each correction to make sure nothing was missed. Happily, it was perfect, and I was able to
sign off with a joyful electronic signature and celebrate this last step at our
family get-together.
So, what’s next?
With the galley finished and approved, the manuscript gets into the
queue for a release date. Marketing
estimates a June release date with pre-sale up on Amazon by mid-April! So excited for this ghost mystery/military
romance to be available to readers! In
the meantime, please enjoy the blurb below, check out the Pinterest storyboard,
and give one of my other novels a try if you like spooky suspense mixed with
steamy romance! Happy reading.
