Been so tight lipped lately...

OK, time to reveal a little (ok, a lot) more information. The text is almost done. Currently, it's being checked over with a fine toothed comb by a few friends (who are staying anonymous so there are no hard feelings). The poems are all in order (although there might be a few slight changes). As soon as the text is completely finished, I'm going to do some quick formatting (most of it is already set up, I did it while I've been waiting), then that part is done.
I'm not sure how far along the cover is, but I told the cover artist (you all HAVE gone to check out www.rewilson.us, haven't you???) that I would be ready in about a month, so there isn't much pressure on her. This morning I gave her the final calculation on the spine, so she should have all the info that she needs...
The book is 132 pages long, split across three chapters. There are 50 poems total (what a nice number!), some that have been on here, some on my old blog, some only on the forums, and even a few that you have NEVER read before! Even the ones you know have changed a bit, I finally went back and did the minor tweaks that I always put off before.
The final retail price is (wait for it... wait for it!) $13.95 US. I'm not sure what that will convert into for my Candian and overseas friends, but hopefully it will be reasonable. I have spent hours at different bookstores, looking at other people's books, finding ideas for length, formatting, and price, and finally decided on $1/10 pages (seemed to be about average, although some were as low as 50 cents and some were over $2 for 10 pages). The money that goes over the cost of publishing will be used to fund buying an ISBN number, and getting global distribution, so (one day) you'll see it in Barnes and Noble online (and hopefully my local branches too), Amazon, and other online retailers. Global distribution is a one time fee of $99.95, it includes a new ISBN, so y'all have to buy a LOT of books! :)
So... any more questions? :D
