The anthology — Kobzar’s Children: A Century of Untold Ukrainian Stories — is coming out in June. Because the photos are black and white and the book is all text rather than an illustrated story like Aram’s Choice, it can be reproduced in Canada, rather than in Hong Kong like Aram’s Choice.
The editing and formatting and proofing is complete. The photos have all been placed and the captions have been added. I did the acknowledgements page yesterday.
Now I am just waiting for the final final final page proofs. That should arrive tomorrow I think. Then I look it over with a fine-toothed comb and hope against hope that I don’t miss any tiny errors.
I am so excited about this anthology. It is the first time I have been an editor. The stories are all fabulous and I am pleased and proud. And I can hardly wait to sign off on the final page proofs. Sort of like sending a child to kindergarten!
Yay! Don’t you just love it when it all comes together like that? 😀
Hi Maggie,
Lovely avatar!
Yes, it’s such a relief to finally be at this stage with the anthology. It has been a huge amount of work. I could have written three novels in the amount of time it took me to put this anthology together.
Hi Marsha!
Woo-hoo!!!
