So, the proof copies of The Quaker have just made their way to the ends of the earth, arriving here in New Zealand yesterday. I think they look pretty flash, but then I would say that…
There’s always a ‘woah’ moment when your proofs arrive and you realise that this thing you’ve been wrestling with for endless months on your computer screen and in printouts of various kinds is going to end up as an actual, proper, bound, bona fide book. It’s a glorious feeling.
Scary, too. Because now other people get to read it…
