The contract for my next novel has been signed, sealed, stamped and is on the way to the publisher.
I will also be working with an artist for a cover, providing her with information about the book and sharing any ideas I have on making it eye-catching, noteworthy, and marketable. She'll come up with some covers and we'll decide which best reflects the story, and that involves a few tweaks along the way.
It has been assigned ISBN numbers for print and electronic editions. The tentative release date is Oct. 1.
To backtrack, when I finished the manuscript on Aug. 1, I submitted to my publisher. It was then forwarded to an editor, who recommended a contract for the work.
Now I will await word from an editor for the final edit. It will probably take several weeks for this phase. It's time-consuming but worth the effort as we both endeavor to make the manuscript ready for publication.

There is still more to come, but I see light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.
Until the next time...
