Latest Update on the Sci-fi Project!
Hi guys!
Immanuela here, Christopher's assistant. He asked me to post the latest update on his science fiction project, #TSiaSoS. So here goes!
Because Goodreads doesn't appear to allow embedded videos, the first thing you'll want to do is check out Christopher's video here.
We are all anxiously awaiting news of a publishing date and a link to pre-order, but we're not quite there yet.
Christopher is in the middle of working through the story to refine and improve the plot, develop the characters further, and generally make the book the best it can be. Revision can be the hardest part of writing a novel—after a year or more crafting each paragraph with care, finally typing “The End,” and printing out the manuscript, it’s done, right?! Nope. Now it's time to review, reflect, and revise.
So when do we get the book? Well, once Christopher has finished the first go-through, trusted advisors will read it and offer their thoughts, and then the book will be sold to a publisher—who will also propose changes. Between editing, designing, printing, and marketing, the earliest #TSiaSoS could be available for purchase is next year.
Rest assured, you won't be bored during the wait! We'll have awesome behind-the-scenes content, updates on publishing dates, and themed exclusives for fans on Paolini.net throughout this process. And check out the video here where Christopher details some of the brainstorming necessary to write a good science fiction book.
As always, thank you for your support and stay in touch!
Cheers,
Immanuela
