It’s been an exciting few days! On Friday I received my ten advance review copies (ARCs), which are the uncorrected proofs of GOOD CHINESE WIFE! It was amazing to see it in a book format. Here’s the cover:
I already knew what the front cover looked like, apart from the treatment of the new subtitle, which I totally love (both the subtitle and how it fits on the cover). But it was the back cover that was a surprise. And when I saw it, I knew it was perfect!
I started reading the ARC on Friday evening and finished today, Monday morning. During this time, I also took my kids to a 3 hour musical, a Purim carnival, and driver’s ed (for number one son).
Plus on Saturday night I received the 2nd pages, or final PDF of GOOD CHINESE WIFE, to proofread before the actual book goes to print. So I’ve been working on that every night since Saturday.
I have until the 28th of this month to finish proofreading this PDF and am about 1/3 finished now. This week I’ll also talk to my editor about sending the ARCs to other authors for blurbs. I’m super excited about that, too!
Beautiful and back cover has sort of a Russian feel to it 😀 at least for me.
Thank you! I thought that, too, about the Russian feel. And I like it! It’s a little old school, but classic, and works well with the cups. I hope you’re enjoying it!
Looks great – let me know when you’re set to replace your existing interview (http://rastous.podomatic.com/entry/2012-10-16T18_15_27-07_00) with one specific to the book!
Thanks so much! Anytime!! My publication date is now 29 July, so should we wait a little closer to that date?
Soooooooo exciting! It looks so perfect, Susan–congratulations!
Thank you so much, Tracy! I am on pins and needles waiting for your cover! I know it will be lovely!
I adore the back cover! It is incredibly stunning and professional!
Thank you so much! It was a nice surprise to find the back cover when I opened the box of ARCs!
This is so exciting! You’re right; the back cover is exquisite. Congratulations!
Thank you so much, Shannon! I’m also very much looking forward to seeing the anthology’s cover!
