George R. R. Martin has an announcement.
As a professional, this is fascinating to me. They have set a publication date of July -- in this year -- for a book he says he isn't done with yet. By contrast, I finished With Fate Conspire in September of last year, did copy-edits in January, and will be getting page proofs in March, for a street date at the end of August. I know the reasons for that schedule, and in no way begrudge them; a lot of factors go into determining what gets done when. But it's fascinating to see how quickly it can all go, when the publisher decides to push.
