Putting the Book to Bed

Today is an exciting day for me—Buzz Marketing with Blogs for Dummies goes to production today, which means the next time I see any of it, it will be in book form. I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to have it finished! And what a relief.

Technical books and books like this are written on a very fast turn-around of three months, with about another month of editing. I turned in the first 25% of the book in late September, and the final 100% on Dec. 5. In late December we added one more chapter to really make the book sing, and then there was the editing. It’s a very fast pace and I have so many people to thank for their help along the way.

Today, though, I need to acknowledge the folks at Wiley who have been patient through last minute changes, and who I know have been working madly this week to meet this deadline. I hope Beth Taylor, my editor, and the team of copy editors, graphics folks and all the others behind the scenes plan on celebrating this weekend. I know I’ll be lifting a glass to all of them.

Thanks, guys!
