Kelsey Rae Barthel liked an update for The Bird’s Road

Hello All,

Here’s the best update I can provide.

The "pour" is the manuscript formatted for printing or digital copies.

From Inkshares:

Proofreading: 2 weeks

Proof resolution and cleanup: 2 weeks

Cold read: 2 weeks

Cold read cleanup: 1 week

Pour: 1 week

Printing/Ebook conversion: 4 weeks

Ship from printer: 1 week

Ship from Inkshares HQ to backers: 1 week

Publication date: should be approximately 2-3 weeks after backers receive their finished books, but discretion is up to Inkshares.

What is that, seventeen weeks?  September?

This evening I offered to drop another K or two on the project to contract the proofreading myself... to keep the ball rolling. I’ll see where that gets us. Square peg, round hole.

I think its down to the odd bits and that most valuable resource, time.

I admit, the copyedit worked wonders and the pour does look perfect. 


Thanks for being patient,


Sharek
