Hi everyone,
I’m happy to say that, as of last night, Showtime re-writes have been completed and sent back to my editor for review. From there she’ll let me know her thoughts and we’ll see if anything else needs additional work. I’m anticipating another round, but this current revision (aside from actually writing and successfully crowdfunding the book) is undoubtedly the biggest hoop to jump through before getting Showtime to publication and finally into your hands. Even if there’s additionally work to be done, I doubt it’ll be as much as this round.
With this revision, I ended up adding about 17,000 additional words to the manuscript—meatier descriptions, more dialogue, enhanced backstory and character relationships, among others—for a total of 126,000 words and roughly 490 pages. I anticipate a little being cut, but overall I’m pretty excited with the changes and really think the book is even better than before.
The next step is getting some feedback from my editor about the new draft (hopefully within the next couple months) and we’ll take it from there. I’ll be sure to send out new information when I have it, but for now, thanks again for your continued support and enthusiasm!
Ricky
