Readers, this is it!!! Last chance to update your mailing address before your copy ends up at your old address. Please login and confirm ASAP. Thank you for your patience, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback on our story!
Dear Readers:
We know we have said it before, but we really are in the home stretch. Our best current guess is that A Friend for Otter will ship by late summer or early autumn. Although we have badly misjudged this timeline before, those earlier stages blindsided us with the pandemic and then the demands on our time and effort of copyediting after we (incorrectly) thought that the process was now primarily in Inkshares’ hands. Copyediting is over, and the process really is, this time, out of our hands. So although we can’t promise, we are crossing our fingers that you’ll be reading your own copies of A Friend for Otter well in advance of the holidays. We are incredibly grateful to you all for your patience and loyalty.
The stage after copyediting was when the typesetter poured the manuscript. We’ve reviewed it and provided very minor feedback. Inkshares will now finalize the manuscript and proofread it. Proofreading should begin in the next few weeks, at which point Inkshares expects to provide us with a firm release date.
In anticipation of the release date, please double check your mailing address with Inkshares, especially if you have moved since ordering your copy of A Friend for Otter (which was several years ago now for the vast majority of you).
Again, we can’t thank you enough for standing by us through the years of this project. It meant so much to us to have your support through not only time, but also through the hardship COVID brought. And we hope that as we near the last stages of publishing, your wait will soon be over and (we hope you’ll agree) well worth it!.
Your devoted authors,
Jesse and Ván (Sylvia) Medlong
