Andrew Seiple's Blog: Transmissions From the Teslaverse - Posts Tagged "editing"

Hey there. Short blog today.

I'm exhausted from the weekend. Three days of frantic typing, roughly thirty thousand words later, and the draft manuscript of the second book in the DIRE series is done.

I've sent it out to betas and editors... from here it'll take about a month, maybe two, to complete revision and rework. Also to get the cover art in, the artist is still finishing that up.

Wish I could get it to you all sooner, but... I refuse to skimp on quality, here. No way around it, it'll take time.

But in a few weeks, I should be able to get those of you who signed up for my mailing list a special surprise. Keep an eye on your inboxes...

In this case, Dire:Hell is taking longer than expected. I just got my editor's comments back on the story portion of the first draft. I think I know how to fix my issues with it, but it'll take some pretty severe editing.

So be it! I want this one to be worth the fuss.

After I do that, it'll be off to the beta readers. They'll have their usual time to survey matters.

Figure a month, perhaps. That's how long the process should take.
