Look what arrived on my doorstep today: page
proofs for A Hold on Me!
I’m so excited. This is the stage where I get to
see A Hold on Me typeset for the
first time. Other than size and lack of cover, these pages look the same as they
will in the finished novel, including the fonts, little flourishes for chapter
headings, the title page, and other details such as the ciphers used to
represent a mystical language that appears here and there throughout the novel.
This is also the last time the publisher’s
proofreader and I will read through the novel. While we look for typos and
other issues, the uncorrected proof ARCs (Advanced Reading Copies) will be sent
out for reviews. Obviously ARCs aren’t perfect, but the novel has been
copyedited and gone through several rounds of revision over the last year. It’s
been quite a journey and this stage is particularly awesome.
