We’ve ordered the proof copy for Hoosier Hysterical! In a few days we
should have our first physical book in hand … at which point, I’m going to read
the whole darned thing all over again. Yep. Read your work in a different
format, and you’ll catch mistakes you didn’t see before.
But then … then we’ll have to decide on the size of our first print
order. Too few and we’ll run out of copies. Too many, and we’ll run out of
money. Neither holds much appeal.
When it comes to books with
illustrations, how do you feel as a reader? Print or e-book? Hoosier Hysterical has somewhere around
80 photos.
Because it's a history book, pics are appropriate.
ReplyDeleteI think so--now. I didn't when I first started the project!
DeleteCongrats! Yes, reading a print copy definitely helps you find those pesky errors.
ReplyDeleteYes, and then I'll find those last few after the first print run!
