The plan of attack has shifted. After some careful consideration (lots of it), I am looking into self-publishing the project (i.e., creating a publishing company, buying ISBN’s, and all the other hard work that goes into publishing).
Basically, I took a step back, gave the manuscript a cold, hard looking over, and realized the nature of the subject is a bit more academic than I consider it to be, irrespective of my writing style, or quite possibly anyone’s. Perhaps it is fitting, I like to have my hand in everything anyway.
The last of the major editing came to a close yesterday, and the front matter is nearly done. Clearing permissions (should take anywhere from a few days to three months) will be the next hurdle before it comes to life. The last thing I want is to step on another publisher’s toes or copyright. If all goes according to plan, it will be available in hardcover, softcover, and ebook format.
