First Reader
First Reader
In my newly released book I have listed Evelyn Webster and Linda Gigliotti as the "first readers" of all my writings. Both Evie and Linda have been great at looking over my writings, providing editorial and copy writing feedback. The term "first reader" is the highest designation that someone can get from an author. The "first reader" sees the words and stories before anyone else. All authors have a first reader whether it's a spouse, an agent, or a very close friend. When you see this in the acknowledgment section of my book, remember that Evie and Linda are my "good luck charms" who gave me excellent input. What you look for in a "first reader" is honest feedback. Writer's need people like Evelyn and Linda because when you write something, you become too close to it. You need a trusty "first reader."
Book In Hand
I finally have the printed book in my hand and it's fantastic looking. I can't get over the feeling of joy of holding your first published book, the smell of the ink, the words on the page. Every author, even Stephen King can tell you what that first experience was like.
Book Signing
I will be at Park Row Books, Clinton, NY on Saturday, December 17th from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. I'm expecting a large crowd. I'll let you know next week how it goes.
