ATS preparing for publication

[swissmarg]

I just got to see the mock-up of the cover for the second book by Jim Haberkorn, the RL author whose books I have helped to edit. I'm not sure if I can give the title yet, and in any case it may still change, but the working title's acronym is ATS. (His first novel, published in March 2011, is Einstein's Trunk.) I honestly wasn't that impressed with the cover; I hope they change it. But in any case, it's very exciting to see the process moving forward, and I'm really happy for Jim. I expect that it will be published later this year. And he is working on the third in the series!

ETA: Jim has told me the publication date is scheduled for March 2013. So, a while to wait yet.

Yes, it's really interesting seeing the process behind the scenes, with the agents and publishing house reps and negotiations and back-and-forth before the product actually gets to the shelves. It makes me appreciate all the more how difficult it is to get a book published by a legitimate publisher.
