It’s largely been a week of editing and revisions around here, but there’s cover art a’comin’, too!
Pressing Matters: Week of Jan. 21-25, 2013
Editing
- Revision requests out on two possible sequels; waiting on returned contracts and then…announcements!
- Brainstorming with one author about different title ideas for said sequel. Titles are funny, funny things…and hard to get just right!
- Going through Blue Diamond Delivery revisions – Webrid strikes back!
- David Colby has hit the halfway point on revisions to Shattered Sky.
- Going through edits on what may shape up to be an impossibly cool fantasy detective novel.
Production
- Digital ARCs for The Other Half of the Sky are headed out into the world this week. We finally got the ornament to work!
- The ornament looks GREAT in the print version, too. And the final cover? Gorgeous. This anthology really is the whole package.
- Getting author feedback on covers for The Dominion and working up new ideas there.
- Got a GREAT piece of cover art for The Daughter Star; now we’re working on fonts.
Reviews, Promotions, and Buzz
- What are you doing on Monday, February 4? If you’re in the New York metro area, you should head to Rough & Ready to get a sneak peek at Blue Diamond Delivery by Anne E. Johnson!
- Pencil it in: Justin Robinson will be on hand at the Redondo Beach Mysterious Galaxy on Feb. 16 for their local authors meet-and-greet! We hear he’s also planning to be at the next LA edition of Noir at the Bar.
Sundries
- Royalty packages have hit the post.
- Now it’s time to reorganize the sales database. Yay?
- Brainstorming more ways to promote Candlemark & Gleam books and authors this year, and work on building more of a community. Any ideas? We’d love to hear ’em!
- We just started a new occasional blog series to try to support both our authors and other people in the writing community, with looks at what happens after a book launches. Is there anything you’d particularly like to discuss, or have us comment on?
- We finally updated the Coming Soon page!
