Bound
Today is like Christmas Day, Hannukah and my birthday all rolled into one. (If, of course, on each of those days I received prototypes of the gifts I would receive at a later date.)
The galleys arrived today. Thirteen bound copies of my book in promotional form. The inside of the book will look mostly as it will when it is published, although it is still an uncorrected proof, meaning that the copyeditor's changes and other design fixes have not yet been incorporated. The cover is black and white with no illustration and a list of marketing information for promotional partners and media contacts.
Things are really starting to pick up. I spoke to my publicist yesterday to brainstorm a few ideas and to get an idea of what I'm in for when the book is released. I'll send a few of these copies to media contacts who write for long-lead magazines; many of them are planning their January and February articles now.
Oprah, if you are reading, I'd be happy to send you a copy.
