I had a call from the editor of the Press – Kyle. He’s the big picture guy, or so he tells me. We went over the stories in my book and the title.

He made some suggestions, which I agreed with. So I moved some of the stories to other areas and sent it back to him, which I did.

He likes the title. He told me Nick is the design guy and he also has a good sense of recommendations for literary journals in Illinois who can review my book.

Next step is proofreading. Yikes! I hope I haven’t made so many errors that they give up on publishing my book.
