Cloud & Ashes: 1

Fri 30 Jan 2009 - Filed under: Not a Journal., Greer Gilman | Posted by: Gavin

Today we mailed out review copies of Greer Gilman’s second novel, Cloud & Ashes, to the trade mags who want it early, early, meaning it is one step closer to actually being a book. The review copies are uncorrected proofs as there a few tiny things that will change. They’re also shorter than the actual book will be, leading to an odd feel in the hand. But since the finished book will be a hardcover it should be ok.

We publish trade paperbacks and hardcovers and the format decision is a complicated piece of flummery. Cloud & Ashes is a hardcover for many reasons but the most important was that we wanted it to stand up to the many readings that we and other readers will give it.

Anyway, a few lucky readers get these copies early next week. In the meantime: smiling cats and cake!
