Since we are now busily preparing for the big switcheroo, you will have noticed that we are not exactly, um, keeping you up to date on our activities. So here I am with a wee post to let you know where things are at, in the unlikely event that you are on tenterhooks.
First, we have decided upon a design. It’s simple, and typography-driven, and well, we like it a lot. I am itching to implement it in my spare time, but that’s not plentiful and anyway, my repetitive strain injury keeps me from working too many evenings and weekends these days. That said, you are likely to see the new design rolled out next week, if all goes according to plan (which, my naysayer/superstitious side insists, it hardly ever does).
We also have our query letters ready to be sent out to book agents. That means we are on the cusp of an intimidating moment: the moment of actually submitting our work to be judged. However, although we are hoping for our wildest-dreams scenario — big publishing deal, national book tour, bestseller, speaking engagements, the works — to materialize, we have a series of more modest backup plans to fall back on. The most modest is that we turn the sucker into a PDF (or series thereof) and offer it up for download. Ultimately, we’re just excited to get our ideas about business out into the world. But a contract with a well-placed publisher would help us do that very nicely, so please conjure whatever good-vibe, positive-visualization, crossed-finger exercises you have up your sleeve to help us land that colourful and sizeable fish.
So that’s us. And there will be more soon… very soon. Thanks so much to everyone who have shared words of encouragement and support — they mean more than we can say.
