Back to the Grind: A Final Proofing of The Bala Worm

Sunday’s celebration over, it’s time to be back to “the writing life” — in this case, arriving late yesterday evening, a final proof of CRUNCHY WITH KETCHUP (see July 5, et al.). Thus:

Attached is the proof file in .pdf format.

Please review your story, bio and information on the acknowledgments page.

Please let me know if I’ve made any errors. Since this file cannot be edited — please refer to the page number at the bottom of the page and include the first few words of the paragraph the change needs to be made in so I can find it quickly in the master file.

The little details, yes, but so, so important for a book we’ll all be proud to be in or to buy. And not that much work either, in this case involving just one correction sent back tonight. Ahead of schedule then, at least for me, but with all corrections requested to be in by Friday in hopes of an early August release.

Will the book, with my story “The Bala Worm,” make it? Check back here next week.
