Reviewer's Copy approved

During the past week, the publisher Robin and I echanged edits of the reviewer's copy several times and on Thursday, we finally agreed that it is approved, finished! Yay! It's getting exciting. There are a few really original things in the manuscript that I can't wait to see in print, very original.

She sent out the finished "Reviewers Copy" to several people to get the Except reviews for the back cover. One has been returned so we are awaiting a couple more to come back and then she will be sending it off to the printer.

Robin is a dream to work with, such a hard worker and very creative. I am feeling very fortunate to have the opportunity and pleasure of having Big Table Publishing do my first book.

Smiles!

Big Table Publishing

Well, Robin at Big Table sent the galley to me a couple days ago. She works fast! Exciting stuff, everything looks great especially the cover. Kid1 is on the cover and Kid2 took the photo and worked some photoshopping magic to create the image that I wanted so he will get the cover photo credit for the book. I proofed the galley and sent it back to Robin yesterday for final editing.

All we are waiting on now before it goes to the printer is for the reviewers to return their reviews to use for the back cover. I think I am done with my work as far as the manuscript goes at least. Yay!!

Mice Verses Man is coming soon!!

Poetry Manuscript Accepted

On October 27, 2009, my book manuscript titled Mice Verses Man was accepted for publication by Big Table Publishing Company in Boston, Massachusetts.

The book is forthcoming by the end of the year 2009.

Many thanks to the owner and Editor In Chief, Robin Stratton for accepting this project.

Much more to come!
