er… umm… did I mention?
That Mini Book Expo is ON? Right now? Over at www.minibookexpo.com. Yes this year it even has a brand new, shiny URL of its own. (Which also means this is all I’m going to say about it here.) This year I’ve invited the publishers to partner with us and the response has been phenomenal! 11 books ready to be claimed, 60+ still to be released as quickly as I can (2-4 per day), and more coming in. There are some amazing titles on the list which, in previous years, wouldn’t have made the release list because I would have kept…
Launch – tomorrow!!
As I’ve said before, after months and months and months (and months) of working on it, the books are here and we’re having a party! TOMORROW!! The CheapEats Ottawa Book Launch & You’re Invited! CEOT Book Launch Feb 13th, 7pm-9pm at East African Restaurant in Ottawa, sponsored by Beau’s All Natural Brewery. RSVP please! I’ve moved almost my entire office into Rocker & Junkii’s guest room and am stickering the hell out of everything that’s going in the swag bags (which are actually boxes). We’re driving all over town delivering restaurant letters (the letters to restaurants saying “congratulations you’re in…
The Books Are Coming NOW!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! The books are coming NOW. I feel like my water just broke. We were expecting them on Friday – and explicitly told our PM if they were coming early we needed at least 24 hours notice to get the help we needed to carry them up to our office. The phone rang an hour ago, as I was setting up the Advance Purchase PayPal buttons. “Do you have a dock?” he asked casually. “No…” I said, my voice already starting to raise in panic “Okay, thanks,” the voice says with finality. I hear him putting the receiver down. “WAIT!” I…
Book Done!
It’s time for a happy dance and a big whoop of joy! (not to mention the ceremonial opening of the new camera) After working on this book for over 20 months, we have just delivered the book to the printers. Now, I don’t believe this is the end of the work – there will be more proofs to review, corrections, errors we find after we’ve signed everything off…. but The book looks FANTASTIC! I laughed out loud at a profile this morning. That’s a real sign of the quality of the writing! It’s done and now I get to plan…
