I got the copyedited manuscript last week, and got off remarkably easy. There are only a few substantive changes, and remarkably few grammar and spelling corrections. Credit for the easy copyedit probably ought to go to Kate, for proofreading almost as many drafts as I have, and being remarkably calm and persistent about correcting my comma abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Second, I got word today that the Portugese translation rights have been sold, which is cool. I don&#8217;t think this means there&#8217;s definitely a Portugese edition coming out, just that somebody now has the right to print one, if they so choose. But that&#8217;s potentially something for my readers in Brazil to look forward to, which is nice.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s where things stand at the moment. My response to the copyedits is due back next Tuesday, and the next step on the production calendar is a first pass at the typeset manuscript, in late May. So everything seems to be moving along smoothly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The official release date for How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is December 22nd, exactly eight months from today.
