Quick update: The structural edits on Hero Born are now done.
This is the stage where an editor suggests changes to the plot, characters, chapter structure, dialogue, correction of inconsistencies, etc. They are only suggestions but, to my mind, you accept any help you can get, especially if it's from an experienced professional, if you want your book to be as good as it possibly can be. A fresh eye is always a great help, and the notes from my editor, Rachel, were understanding to the tone of the story and made perfect sense.
The next part of the process will be the copy editing, where a professional proof-reader will read over every syllable and punctuation mark, but the next visible stage will be the official cover reveal. I love the design and can't wait for you to see it - it should be relatively soon as we keep on track for the publication date of 1st June.
Before then, you will be able to pre-order Hero Born so that it is automatically delivered to your e-reader on publication day. I'll keep you posted on when this becomes possible.
