Last week, over at The Lucky 13s, I blogged about my publishing timeline, or more specifically, the speed of my own personal publishing journey! "Is your book out yet?" is a very common question I get from friends, family and strangers alike. The explainy answer is long and involved, but I tried my best to map out what is happening with ALL THAT GLOWS.
Speaking of, I very recently finished my copy-edits. I wasn't quite sure what to expect out of this stage, but it's actually been one of the easiest.
And the most educational.
Mostly copy-editor just made me very aware of how horrid my punctuation is. (Comma splices everywhere!!!!) But there were a few places where I learned fascinating facts.
Did you know?
-Portobello mushrooms are a rather recent, American phenomenon. So sadly, they cannot be my protagonist's favorite food.
-There were no string quartets in Queen Elizabeth's court. Just lutes. And harpsichords.
-There were also no tailored suits in Queen Elizabeth's court. Just doublets. And ruffs.
I have now learned all of these things. And ALL THAT GLOWS is better for it.
