An author shares his publishing timeline after finishing his manuscript on December 30, 2022. The book won't release until 2024 despite being written, as it moves through multiple rounds of proofreading and copy-editing. He stresses the slow, meticulous nature of getting a book to market.
It's about 5:30 in the morning, and, um, this is when I typically get up. So as you can see, it's still dark outside. Yeah, probably just see a reflection. And, uh, I finished this manuscript, uh, as of December 30th or thereabouts. It was before the year ended of 2022 when I submitted it and was done. And it goes through all the iterations then, so proofreads There's a first pass, second pass, copy edits, and so forth. Now it's at the final proof, and that's what I'm doing now. And the book still won't come out until 2024. It's just— this is the process to making a book. Part of it is just the macinations, the slowness of publishing, but the other part is it's necessary. You got to get the book perfect. So 2 and a half years of writing and editing and a lifetime of effort. I hope it changes your life.
