This past week our primary focus was on following up with reviewers, bloggers, and bookstores. Is this sounding repetitive yet? No, we aren’t trapped in a time loop, and I promise this isn’t some publishing-themed version of Groundhog Day. We are in full-blown media mode, trying to get as much coverage and publicity as we can.

Just today Sean was on OPB’s Think Out Loud. The show featured Phil Klay, author of Redeployment, in conversation with local veterans. Klay spoke with Sean and others about serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and about what it was like to readjust to life at home.

While we’ve been doing all of this marketing and publicity work, we have simultaneously been wrapping up work on the ebook. Once the coding process was complete, the ebook was sent to our editing team for proofing. All of the notes from the print proof are now being incorporated into the ebook, and we are also updating miscellaneous elements unique to the ebook, such as the ISBN and swapping in color photos in the interior.

The Wax Bullet War officially has its own book page on the Ooligan website. You’ll find all kinds of great information about the book there, including the back cover copy, advance praise for the book, links to preorder a copy, and information about how you can connect with Sean on social media. Be sure to check it out!

Until next week,
Laurel
