Mistakes happen! 😂🤣

When the first proof copies come... and it's not quite the reaction you're hoping for!

Each page is supposed to have its mirror in the other language on the page next to it...

This is why you order proof copies!

Copies came back from the proofreaders, and I can start the final edits! It’s strange to be working on this in the midst of yet another tragedy in Haiti (earthquake 2021), specifically Jeremie where all of these storytellers are based. Please find local organizations to support.

@e_updegraff Done! Did not know DMs were closed, thank you.

Are there any book bloggers or reviewers who would like to review our book Seeds in a Dark Fruit Sky?
It is a collection of bilingual short stories, with English and Haitian Creole. You do not need to know Creole to review.
Drop me a DM if you're interested! 📚😊

An excellent read here from @amywilentz, full of context, understanding and empathy: What next for Haiti? https://t.co/tBc6y49Wds

First proof copy has arrived! There are some formatting errors to fix before sending it off to proofreaders and book reviewers.

Despite its problems, it is so exciting to finally hold a physical book! 🥰📚❤️

[SeedsinaDarkFruitSky @DarkFruitSky]

Book design has more to edit than we initially thought, but we're making progress! Should be able to send to printers this month!

[LostShoePublishing @PublishingLost]

Book layout for @DarkFruitSky is coming along! Should be able to start sending copies to proofreaders and some early book reviewers by July.

Wai Moe Naing and anyone else who is deprived of their liberty must be released immediately. The imprisonment won't make the population quieter, they will make it louder, much louder and will fight even more for democracy. #Myanmar #WaiMoeNaing #Apr15Coup https://t.co/CVpsqfUNgP

The word 'translation' comes... from the Latin for 'bearing across'. Having been borne across the world, we are translated men. It is normally supposed that something always gets lost in translation; I cling, obstinately to the notion that something can also be gained.
