Edits are nearly done on Alliance

It's been freezing here in Melbourne, and we've been inside working on the book. But while we were writing ... look, our first freesia for the year.
It’s been freezing here in Melbourne, and we’ve been inside working on the book. But while we were writing … look, our first freesia for the year.

We’ve almost finished the first major edit of ALLIANCE following initial editorial feedback. Our deadline is Friday, 14 August.

Based on the first book, we’ll have at least another round of edits after that, possibly more, but for the moment we’re almost done with this draft.

This is one time we back up the changes frequently. Sometimes two and three times a day if we’ve worked a lot on the draft, because we’re at that stage where we’ve done the major rewrite, and now our changes are little more than tweaks. Cleaning up the text, fixing typos. If we lose those tweaks we’d never be able to reproduce them, we’d just have to redo the work.

As the deadline approaches my housekeeping gets more and more … rushed is a polite word. So come 14 August, I’m going to clean house.

After that, it’s back to book three.

I’m looking forward to Alliance, Karen. I’ve just completed reading Linesman and I absolutely can’t wait. Great work to you and Sherylyn.
