I’ve finished the structural edit AND the line edit, which is the tedious detail pass (grammar, spelling, etc). I’m now about halfway through the final editing pass where I read the book aloud to help spot any remaining errors. Needless to say I’m thoroughly sick of it by now! Not to say I’m unhappy with the story, but imagine you just read a book through three times back-to-back and you get the idea.
All going well it ought to be ready for beta reading soon. I have my editor booked for early April, the soonest I could get, which means the book will be published sometime in May. Now I need to start thinking about how the cover should look…
