Don’t you love having a glimpse of a great writer at work? (And don’t you think his typist deserves some credit?)
“Dickens manuscript illuminates author’s workings” — the article in the Guardian.
What I’ve been up to:
Newsletter! (I know, I’ve mentioned that before.)
I just finished checking the “galleys” (files) for the Trilogy, in preparation for launching Sandra Gulland Ink in February.
E-book publishing can be time-consuming in the same way print publishing is: everything needs to be checked and rechecked. (No, I’m not complaining. I love all this.)
Of interest to Canadians e-book publishing on Kindle.com: you have to send Amazon a W-8BEN form (with affidavit) so that they don’t withhold 30% of your income against taxes. I don’t know if that’s the case for all the other Amazon sites (Amazon.uk etc.) — but I need to find out.
A friend of our son Chet calls December “the Friday of the months.” So apt! The holiday spirit has definitely landed chez nous.
I am sharing the article and appreciate your comments about e books. Learning the business takes a lot of time….thx for all the help.
Thanks, Janet — I’m learning as I go. It does take a lot of time!
