    Seashell paperback incoming!

    Once again, the proof copy is out for delivery right now.

    The hardcover edition proof copy turned out great - some text mistakes to fix, but no printing errors that aren't mine! Lulu can print a book to specifications! Yay!

    Seashell: getting closer to print!

    Here's where we are on the Seashell print book:
    83 pages all told, including front matter and a preface. 75 of them so far are story. Anticipating about 10-20 more pages to be finished. Almost there!
    Cover's done (for the hardcover edition dust-jacket, at least, will probably have to be redone for the paperback but whatever).

    Jinglemas 2023, done!

    I wrote this thing for Penguifyer, and today is my assigned day to deliver the gift, so I guess this is when the story drops:

    TLost
    Twilight, on her new wings, couldn't find her way around Cloudsdale. It may have left more of mark on her than she wants to admit. Written for Jinglemas 2023.

Seashell paperback incoming! · 4:15pm April 29th

Once again, the proof copy is out for delivery right now.

The hardcover edition proof copy turned out great - some text mistakes to fix, but no printing errors that aren't mine! Lulu can print a book to specifications! Yay!

So the copy mistakes are fixed in that edition, and production copies are ready to print. I pretty much just have to go to the website and hit the button, and the presses start rolling. Do they uses presses in printing anymore? I doubt it. Well, you know what I mean.

Anyway, photos coming soon once I have the paperback edition in-hand (and it's not goofed up, but with the hardcover having succeeded, I don't expect any problems).

Things are well on-track to having copies ready in time for the EFNW book store, or, if you won't be there, it won't be not long now until I can mail a copy to those interested. Prices will be at-cost, of course, which is still TBD based on what it ends up costing to print+ship more than one copy at a time.

Hard part's gone, guys! Now it's just Step 3: Profit! no wait you can't do that with fanfiction. It's actually just make any last fixes to the paperback, then get ready to send out copies. :twilightsmile:

That's great to hear, and congratulations!

Awesome, how exciting!!

Won't be at EFNW myself, but def will be ordering a hardcopy!

That’s great news, Winston! I know you must be very proud.

I’m definitely going to be at EFNW this year and will be picking up a hardcover edition from the Book Nook!

Thanks for keeping us posted :).

Glad it sounds like things are going well here, and good luck!

Would it be possible to buy a copy of both the hardback and paperback edition? I don't want to do that if it means someone else who wants a copy can't get one, but otherwise I'd be interested in both versions.

Sure! The paperback is unlimited, so there's always enough copies of that.
