Final Proofreads, 7 days to go on Kickstarter

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I hope you had a relaxing and fun holiday.

I’m happy to say that I reviewed the final proofreads for the novel yesterday and sent them off to my copy editor this afternoon. This is the last step in the editing process. It ensures that every word is in place and that there’s no errata.

Once my editor gets back to me with a clean bill of health, I may review the formatted novel one final time. But then, it’s “pencils down”, as they say during an exam.

This is a really big step. After today, I'll be focusing on the execution details of my publication plan, along with other important things like finalizing the cover.

So far, my Kickstarter for Children of Vale is at 75% funding. We're just $735 away from the base goal with 7 days to go.

This is the home stretch. We've gained attention on Kickstarter and elsewhere, and I'm confident we'll make it over the finish line.

Thank you so much to all 26 backers who have generously pledged already. I can't wait to get you the final printed copy!
