In case you ever wanted to know what copy edits look like, they look like this:
It may not look exciting, but it *is*, dear reader -- it *IS*!
And the blurb that appeared at the Frankfurt Book Fair let me see it through someone else's eyes, which made it all seem real:
LUMINOUS
Metcalf, Dawn
In the spirit of bestsellers like Wicked Lovely and City of Bones, an edgy, modern fantasy with the Day of the Dead theme. Consuela is a typical suburban Latina teen until she unwittingly slips into the world of the Flow. Discovering that she has paranormal powers and a mission to save people from dying before their time, Consuela—who has the power to slip out of her worldly skin and cloak herself in elemental skins including water, fire, and air—joins other teens with extraordinary abilities, bound together to safeguard a world they can affect, but where they can no longer belong. Yet when murder threatens to undo the Flow, the Watcher charges Consuela and elusive, and attractive, V (who might prove more than an ally in battle) to find and stop the killer.
*wow*
