A few weeks ago I was asked to do a photo shoot as well as take some footage for a commercial for the book. This was all an experiment by my publisher, Michael Wiese Productions. An experiment in terror, in fear, in…seeing how far and wide this new-fangled Internets thingy could take a trailer/commercial for a book.
My article on the Writers Store came out, hot off the presses. It’s an abbreviated piece of one of the chapters in Horror Screenwriting: The Nature of Fear, so if you want a taste test, have a look.
After digging around on the Internet (Google, what would I do without you?) I’ve found a few in-depth reviews of Horror Screenwriting.
Horror Screenwriting is now available through Michael Wiese, my publisher. You can order it for a short time for 25% off the list price.
Last Thursday my book Horror Screenwriting: The Nature of Fear officially went to the printers after approval of the spine and back cover by myself and my editor.
If you are interested in having me speak on a panel for your horror festival or convention about my book, horror screenwriting in general, or to get a screening of The Cursed, please contact me by leaving a comment on this post. I am soliciting any and all takers right now for the late 2009-2010 season.
Received word a few minutes ago from my editor that the manuscript is being sent off to the designer. Which means that we have officially completed the editing on the book and are now waiting for the galley proofs to look over for any errors or corrections.
What a lot of people don’t know is that your editor, if they are good at what they do, also have a tight timeline to complete a book’s edits before moving directly onto the next one. They can be constantly busy, as was the case with my editor. So my own short time window is rapidly closing in. It’s this Sunday. If I don’t get all of the edits completed, I’ll end up at the back of the queue, which means the book will be delayed.
Here’s the larger version of the book cover. It’s actually slightly different in the titling. Click to embiggenate.
