Paperback Proof Arrived!
Yesterday was an amazing day for me. I got to hold my book for the first time. It was so surreal and wild and awesome all mixed into one. My editor sent me a paperback proof with a nice little note. There definitely is something special about holding a physical book rather than just looking at it on the screen.
I have to admit I almost started crying, but then my excitement must have won over and I started screaming and jumping around. My husband just laughed at me.
Which reminds me, I don’t think I’ve shared with you the full jacket of the hardcover of GILDED. It’s so gorgeous. I can’t stop staring at it. Chick on this link for a peek: Gilded_final jkt_ref.
Yay! I bet that was an amazing feeling! I would have been teary-eyed too. =)
SO excited for you! I’d be crying and jumping up and down too! As it is, know that I”m doing the happy dance with you.
I love how you jumped around in joy! There are so few moments (as and adult) that we are inspired to do this. I say savor these moments, they are few and far between. Plus, you worked sooo hard for this! Huge congrats from across the country.
The jacket looks amazing and the blurbs are awesome (the ‘e’ at the end of ‘love’ is missing though!). Congrats, Christina. It must be really amazing to hold a copy of the book at last!
^^ I would’ve liked to have seen a reaction video of when you first held it! So neat… Congratulations- and to many more books!
Yay! for another exciting milestone! The jacket looks fantastic.
