Update – Actual Real Books!

I’ve been rather busy lately (as evidenced by my absence from this blog), but it’s for literary reasons so please forgive me.

For the last two weeks I’ve been on work experience at Penguin Children’s doing Marketing and Publicity. It’s been a lot of fun – even all the mailing. And there’s been a lot of mailing. I have learned some of the mysteries of press releases and social media, written copy, realised I’m better at Photoshop than I thought and generally made myself as useful as possible! I’m just sad I’m leaving on Friday…

In other news, I hold in my hands a malformed lump of paper. It has many typos, and the cover is all kinds of wrong, but it exists. And that’s pretty cool.

I’ve spent a lot of this week correcting the various issues, and I should have proper proofs in my hands by next weekend – and then I shall unleash the physical Blackbird and the Ghost on the unsuspecting world! Or maybe a bit sooner. Soon, anyhow!
