Book Progress Update

Apologies for the lack of updates recently, life has been very busy with work over the past few weeks.

The big news with the second draft is that I have a cover artist and also have an editor lined up.

I’m working with the cover artist right now, and they are doing some awesome work. Really impressed with what they are doing.

Editor wise, that won’t begin until the end of September (lesson learnt to book in advance in the future) so I’m spending my time revising the second draft to make sure all the story changes I want are in by then. When the editing begins I’ll switch over to working on an outline for book 2 and then back to Oranje once the editor has done their pass.

Updates will be less frequent for a while with how busy work is, but planning on putting up some posts about editing and covers over the next few weeks.

The Weekend Roundup – 15th July

A day late is better than never!

Not much done on the book this week, been taking a little break with the second draft finished.

Now for the links:

  • Dear Daily Mail – NSFW! A wonderful fuck you to the Daily Mail from Amanda Palmer over their ‘reporting’ of her Glastonbury set. Saw her at her gig in Brighton on Saturday, was absolutely amazing.
  • Sales of Science-Fiction books drop 21% – It’s interesting to see how many of the titles on the list for sci-fi were released a long time ago and the rest are Halo/Star Wars tie-in novels.
