TZC Edits are Done!

Tonight, 8 months after sitting down to write Volume One of The Zombie Chronicles: Escape – I am pleased to say that the edits on the manuscript are now finished! Well, the initial edits anyway.

I sat in a coffee shop, rolled up my sleeves and went to work on the last 35 pages. Killing many of my darlings and letting others survive. I do all my edits by hand. Sitting there with my work and a pad of paper, X-ing things out, making notes, scribbling on page after page. I like the organic feel of doing all of that by hand. For me, it’s the only way.

What happens now? Well, for the rest of the week (after I record Episode 23 tomorrow morning), I’ll be entering all those edits into my computer. Then I’ll print off The Beast and next Monday it will get shipped to my editor. Team Awesome will then go over it together and we’ll fix maybe a few more things. Then from there The Beast will make its way into the hands of Permuted Press. They may or may not want some more changes, I don’t know.

The point is, we are all one step closer to seeing this baby in print! It will go quick, hopefully, since the cover is already picked out (I’ll be revealing that little nugget soon). Most likely the novel will see a Fall release. Perhaps in time for Horror Realm for me to sign copies for you? We’ll see about that.

Thanks to everyone of you who helped me through this process. Cheering me on, pushing me to keep going to get those edits done. I’ve been sharing my dream with you guys since the beginning and I feel like it belongs to all of us.

We’re almost there gang!

BELIEVE!
