First Page Proofs

Last month I received the first set of page proofs for my verse novel Gap. There are so many small steps that make up the whole process and it’s such a thrill to see the manuscript slowly form into a book for others to enjoy. I have also had the good fortune of choosing from three excellent cover concepts and settled on a favourite which I absolutely love. Closer to the release date I’ll sneak a preview of the cover.
