State of Verdan
This post will provide the latest update on the status of publishing and marketing each book in the Verdan Chronicles. I will periodically update this post versus new posts, at least for 2016.
The Fourth Age
- Publish start 11/20/2014
- Publish complete 1/15/2015
- Days to Publish 56
- Duration of Author Effort - 16 days
- Duration of Lulu Effort - 40 days
- Offer through Goodreads (In progress, ordered 10/7, questionnaire returned 10/10, marketing draft received on 10/20, but rejected due to focus on wrong book). Still waiting on corrected draft (not a good experience). On 12/15, they started the process over and once again requested a questionnaire be filled out. I sent it back to them on 12/15. On 12/19 they acknowledged receipt of the questionnaire and once again will start the process over to draft something. Ugh. Last time it took them 10 days to send me a draft. I guess I prefer doing a good job over a fast job, so with the holidays I don't expect to get anything until after the 1st of the year.
