Project Update: Project Updates, Odd Dog Updates, and MORE!
Greetings gentle readers!
I have no idea how awake everyone will be during this message, but I hope your October was WONDERFUL!
We're finalizing The Odd Dog, the first book in the series, and it's absolutely stunning. Here's a video from our printer of our proof:
We're focusing all our energy on The Odd Dog, and once that is in the printer's hands, here's what comes next:
1) In November/December, we'll be working with the editor for The Odd Dog's Guide to Making Friends. The editing process usually takes about a month or so, with illustrations taking a few months.
I'm looking for some help with my launch team (getting the word out) and with beta readers. If you're willing to help, please fill out these 3-question form: https://form.jotform.com/242929120280048
2) Once the editing is done, Shannon gets to work on the illustrations. This usually takes a few months. Our hope is to have the book to the printer in January, just prior to Chinese New Year.
It's our hope that the 2nd book is available in April/May, and we're already planning some amazing events with shelters and rescues.
Now that you know the timeline, here are a few quick announcements:

Now that you know the timeline, here are a few quick announcements:
- I'm wrapping up the survey; I'm hoping to make that available in the next week. The survey allows you to finalize your order. One of the reasons I've delayed it is I've created some fun add-ons that you may enjoy.
-
The Pre-Order Store is officially open, so if you'd like to peruse your options ahead of time feel free!
- You might notice that I've kept the "Get Your Dog in the Book" option open. I decided to open that up to a few more people while I'm editing. It'll be open for another month or so if you must have your dog in the book.
That's about it for now. I will be publishing a SPECIAL PAWLIDAY ANNOUNCEMENT this week about The Odd Dog, so stay tuned!
Thank you, as always, for your incredible support.
Sincerely,
Leia B
