Evolution of a Manuscript
The following screen shots show the evolution of a manuscript, from the format it was in when I submitted it for consideration to the first round of copyedits, then the second round of copyedits (this applies only to the Holistic Tarot sample pages), the galleys for proofing, and finally, the advance review copy (or ARC) (again, applying only to Holistic Tarot samples). I’ve also provided a second example, for my second book, The Tao of Craft. You’ll see how a snapshot of two page spreads from my manuscript submission evolved through the copyediting phase to the proofs sent back by the design editor. Two sample pages are taken from Holistic Tarot, chapter 1, page 1 and chapter 3, page 2, and two sample two-page spreads are taken from The Tao of Craft, chapter 1 and chapter 2.
Oh, by the way…! How amazing is it to have access to this nonfiction writing and publishing course! You know how you can do me a solid? Support me by buying a copy of Holistic Tarot and The Tao of Craft for your personal library. You can search for the titles at North Atlantic Books, Random House, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble. I’d be ever grateful for your patronage! – bell
