Kenny Keller describes his step-by-step workflow for turning early draft chapters into a physical proof copy: download the document at the airport, edit on a computer, print chapters one and two, assemble them with covers and a binding machine, and proofread both by hand and via two outside proofreaders. The spoken guidance emphasizes the value of both electronic review and a printed, book-like proof to check flow and feel.
Chapters
So step number two just left staples. I'm going to go back to the airport. I've already read chapters one and two on my phone, waiting for my daughter to get out of school. So I'm going to go back to the airport, download the document, read through them, make any changes I want to in the document on the computer, then I'm going to download it. And I just stopped by to get supplies for my binding machine because after I check it on the computer, I'll make the changes, download them. Then I have a binding machine, so I've got covers and the binders, making sure I have enough, I'll download them, put that chapters one and two together. I can proofread it by hand. And then I have two other people are going to be proofreading for me. So the first step is download it, make the changes I want, then print it off, put it in a book form because it very handy to read through it on the computer in the electronic version. But then it's also nice because it has a book fill by putting your own book together, leafing through the pages, see how it reads, see how it feels and very, very helpful in getting the book set up.
