It's not quite finished yet, but I'll soon have ready a draft of the PDF version (which will be both an e-book and the basis for the paperback edition) of
Rebirth. I'm willing to give an Advance Reader Copy (look up the term in Wikipedia if you've never heard it before) of the PDF file to anyone willing to proofread it for typos and design problems. In particular, I'd like any volunteers to keep their eye out for quotation marks and apostrophes that have been turned round in the wrong direction; the conversion from straight quotation marks and apostrophes to curly quotation marks and apostrophes was done by automation.
The trick is that I'm under a tight schedule, so the proofreading would need to be done within a couple of weeks of the time that the PDF e-book is available. Any volunteers? If so, just
e-mail me, so that I can have your e-mail address on hand when the PDF file is ready.
For those of you who are wondering when my
next Eternal Dungeon volume is due: I'm still working on the editing and layout, I promise, but most of my energy recently has been going into catching up on correspondence/comments and getting my (*expletive*) layout software to create the (*expletive*) paperback design for "Rebirth." Unlike the layout of "Rebirth" (which has to be finished as soon as possible, if I'm to have time this summer to publish and market the novel), the publication of "Transformation" isn't particularly time-sensitive, so it gets kicked down on my to-do list. But that novel will certainly be out before the end of the summer.
Edited to add:Yes, I'm still taking proofreader volunteers. I'll let you guys know when I've stopped taking volunteers. If you volunteer, please e-mail me rather than replying to this post. I can't send you the PDF file if I don't have your e-mail address.
Edited to add:The deadline is closed for this one now, but don't worry - I'm sure I'll have offers like this on future books.
