First draft of the manuscript completed

Posted by admin in Announcement, Process, Publishing

After sixteen months of writing, I finally finished the first draft of the complete manuscript last Saturday!

Today I provided “working draft” printed copies to three people to read and comment. I’ve also asked them to proof read as they go, and mark up their copies any way they want. I know that is not a very high tech way to do it, but at least they can take their copies with them wherever they like to read, whether it be over lunch as I do, or anywhere else they would normally read a novel.

While they are reading I am about the business of exploring marketing options for my first novel.

Hmmmn! Let’s see, we have no budget and we’ve never marketed a novel before. Where should we start?

I’ll research it on the web and get back to you on that.

Good night!
