How a Novel Gets Published: Books in Hand!

Meg with 1st Copy of The Four Ms. BradwellsThanks to my lovely editor, Caitlin Alexander, the fed ex truck rolled up my street yesterday with my first finished copy of The Four Ms. Bradwells! It’s still almost four weeks until you’ll be able to see it yourselves in bookstores, but I can tell you it’s just beautiful!
This big smile – taken by my husband shortly after it arrived – lasted through a late evening celebration, and is still there this morning. Really, it’s an amazing moment to have your book in your hands.
The celebration continues this morning as I plan a giveaway of copies of The Four Ms. Bradwells together with an entire years’ worth of books for an entire book club. More on that to come! – Meg
You can read more in the All-True Story of How a Novel Gets Published – and more posts to come, at least until March 22, when The Four Ms. Bradwells is available in stores.
Postscript: The giveaway is now up. Details on the #Win96Books link above.
