Hi Victoria,

I’ve had Last Days in my Amazon cart for quite a while. I keep checking, but it’s still listed as not published, yet, even though the release date is listed as Feb 1st. What’s up with that? I’m really eager to read it. Thanks.

Great post. At the risk of showing my geeky side, I was intrigued by the shapshot of your proofreader’s stylesheet. As a translator and proofreader myself, I’d be interested in knowing what kind of stuff goes into a stylesheet like that (the picture was too small for me to make out the writing). What is the proofreader’s role, does it involve more than picking out typos?

I’ve noticed a sharp increase (over the last two years) of small press and self-published books in my local library system. Has it been difficult to make sales to library systems?

What IS happening in publishing right now? You’ll have to excuse my ignorance – I’m just a poor boy from the one of the most isolated cities on the planet :o(

Great post, Victoria. With everything happening in publishing right now, seeing the take of a start-up publisher on this process is really interesting. I’m curious to know how your perspective on reading and editing has (or hasn’t) changed since you started Underland. Do you think smaller presses are more likely to survive economic troughs than the biggies?

Please do post the schedule. I’d do my best to make a Boston reading (Pandemonium, perhaps?).

This city living is growing on me.
