Done and dusted!

[Jo Bannister]

And that's the page-proofs for "Kindred Spirits" checked and returned.  Fifteen corrections in 80,000+ words - it must be some kind of a record.  It certainly is for me.

I'm finished with it now - if I've made any howlers that the editor hasn't picked up, they're going to be public knowledge in four months' time.

Better get on with the next one...

Nice work, Jo.

Well done. An editor I worked with once told me 15 typos in a printed book are the norm - as if it's an acceptable level of error. I trust your eagle eye has found them all.

Good for you Jo!

Inspiring.

Thanks, guys.  It is a bit of a mile-stone - or perhaps more of a burnt bridge.  Either way, it means it's time to move on.

The funny thing - at least, it always strikes me as funny - is that from this point on I feel no particular attachment to the "old" book.  If someone asks the name of it, I struggle to remember.  The front of my mind is entirely occupied with the "new" book, even if it's only a few thousand words long.

Well done, Jo. Now, on to the next one.
