Hi there! I'm not sure if this is something you've talked about before in another post, but I just finished the first draft of my first novel, and I was wondering if you could talk about what your experience was like getting your first novel edited and published. I have this story that I'm excited about but no idea what to do with it now that I've reached "The End," do you have any advice on what my next step ought to be towards eventually getting it published? Thanks in advance!

First of all: thanks for asking. ...And now I have to warn you that I am possibly one of the worst possible people to ask about what their first novel's publication looked like... as it was completely atypical.

Not that that's going to stop me, mind you. (And you know what? I'm inserting a cut here, because this goes on a bit. Warning: contains [calculated] dissing by old friends, pulp non-fiction, unexpurgated language, unexpected awards nominations, and advice that's worth just what you're paying for it.)

What happened with me and my first book goes like this:...

In the late 1970s I was starting to burn out on psychiatric nursing, and was offered a job as assistant to the novelist and Star Trek ["The Trouble with Tribbles"] writer David Gerrold. I took it happily, as I was in a place in my life where I really needed some kind of change. The work with David was part-time; I also occasionally did special duty nursing shifts to help make ends meet.

Now during this period, I was writing for my own amusement (as I'd been doing all my life from about age eight onward). Right then I was working on a project I'd been tinkering with from my late high school years right through college, nursing school, and my first couple/few years of practice as an RN. This was the background worldbuilding for a vaguely Tolkienesque, somewhere-between-late-Medieval-and-early Renaissance fantasy scenario featuring a couple of moderately unusual magic systems, a sexually diverse culture, and a pair of "These Two Idiots"-style protagonists with complex interleaving problems.

While I was working for David, I had a lot of opportunity to observe, close up, what the life and workflow of a career writer looked like. Slowly, over a year or so, the realization crept up on me that what David was doing, I could do too. And it was at this point that I finally admitted to him that I thought I might want to write as well.

David's (as I later discovered, extremely calculated) eyeroll could probably have been seen from space. "Oy, not another one," he moaned. After which I went away from the abortive conversation pretty much resolved never to speak to him about this again... but also with a single thought filling my brain: You fucking supercilious sonofabitch, I'm going to show you that I'm not just another one.

...I'll never be able to thank him enough for that. Fury can be so motivating. :)

In the aftermath I got busy pulling together my background material with much more focused intent, and beating the most significant parts of it into something that started looking like a plot. It came together with surprising speed and unnerving insistence—one of the very few times in my career when a project, once begun, has simply flung me into the writing chair and insisted that it was the most important thing in my life and needed handling now. And when in the fullness of time David went on vacation, leaving me to house-sit at his place in LA, I immediately started using his very early computer to transcribe my novel's so-far-only-handwritten draft material.

I took what I thought was considerable care to cover my tracks... but not quite enough. On his return from vacation, when he was putting out the trash, David found some of my discarded draft pages, read them, and confronted me (with a certain amount of friendly teasing) about what had been going on. Then he said to me, "What I've seen of this thing doesn't look too bad. Let me see it when you're finished, and if it looks good enough, I'll ask one of my publishers if they want to take a look at it."

So that's what happened. I finished my first draft and a polish of it in about six weeks, and passed it to David. He read it and immediately handed it on to his editors at Dell, who were just starting a fantasy line for which they needed product. Two weeks later, they said they liked the novel and made an offer, which I accepted. Not a vast amount, but respectable enough. So there it was, my first sale: this book. Which then got me nominated two years running for the Astounding Award, and opened the door for the sale and publication of So You Want To Be A Wizard, as well as my earliest Star Trek work and my entry into the animation world.

I remember very little about the editing process, except that it was painless. What was not exactly painless was the book's cover, about which...well, the less said here the better. But the book came out to generally good reviews. So, with this series of events behind it, you can see why as regards first-publication stories, I'm a first-class outlier and should definitely not be counted. (Also to be avoided by new writers if at all possible: the experience of having half their strongly-selling first novel's initial print run pulped in the warehouse* because it was taking up room needed by a new book by a world-famous novelist.) (Whom I have long since forgiven, since it wasn't his fault, and...well, what can you do? Shit happens.)

...Anyway, that's more than enough about me. Now let's talk about you.

My first advice about what to do with the novel you've just finished? Stick it in a drawer (literally or figuratively speaking, whichever suits your case better) and don't look at it for at least a month. Two would be better. You can spend those two months thinking about your next moves... because you need to give those some consideration before you do anything else.

The question that you first need to answer is going to at least partially shape what you do next. And it's this:

Are you seriously considering making a career out of writing?

It's not that it can't be done! Of course it can. But it won't be easy... not at all. Anyone who tells you it will is either just outright lying through their teeth, or trying to sell you something. ...Or both.

Be honest with yourself as you consider this. If you aren't, you may be letting yourself in for considerable pain over a prolonged period... and I'd sooner you were spared that, if you can be. In particular, be clear about the difference between the statements "I want to write" and "I want to be a writer." Often enough people like the sound of the lifestyle and what they see as going with it—the signings, the book tours (physical or virtual), the interviews, the best-seller lists—without any real concept of the grueling, day-to-day, weekends-are-for-other-people, why-am-I-making-less-than-minimum-wage-most-of-the-time labor that underpins it.

If you simply want to write and be published—without the concept of a career necessarily being involved, or the lovely shimmering dreamlike vision of Giving Up The Day Job—you now have work pathways available to you that would've been unimaginable in the previous century. Self-publishing makes it possible for you to get your work in front of many, many eyes without necessarily having to submit yourself to the specific set of trials that go with achieving the initial stages of an intended career. Selfpubbing still has significant unique challenges of its own, of course, which have to be evaluated so that you can tell (as the commercials say) if they're right for you.

But if you're thinking of a career in what's usually being referred to these days as "traditional publishing", then you face a number of challenges that don't necessarily come with the self-publishing end of things. In particular: many publishing houses no longer consider manuscripts that come to them un-agented. So you're going to need to find an agent who's willing to represent your work... and this is a task that no longer looks anything like what it did when I found mine. (Or rather, when he found me, having been recommended to me by one of my editors. I've been with him for even longer than I've been with @petermorwood... and that's saying something. But this is yet another way in which my career's been wildly atypical.)

There is so much that could be said about this subject alone—the business of researching agencies to see which one seems like a good fit for you, the art of writing the perfect query letter to get their attention focused on a given book, and so much more—that I could hardly begin to even skim the surface of it here. There are whole websites devoted to shopping for agents, not to mention how to pitch yourself and your work to a given literary agency.

Let me leave this whole subject here for the moment. We can come back to it another time, because right now you need to be thinking this through. ...This I'll say, however. For the past six to nine months I've been pulling together links to various online resources that can be beneficial to new writers just getting started. These will be available as posts over at the FicFoundry.com site that I'm going to be bringing online before summer. I'm hoping to build that into kind of a compendium site or clearing house for online resources on this subject. We'll see how it goes.

Meanwhile, thanks for inquiring about this. You're standing at the first branching of what I'm hoping will be, for you at least, a fascinating variant of the Choose Your Own Adventure genre. :)

More on this later.

*Now that we live in the era of just-in-time warehousing, this is something that fortunately doesn't happen much any more... as far as I know. But once upon a time, if somebody's new best-seller was going to the warehouse in its many thousands of copies, and your relatively-less-well-selling book was taking up space that could be used by the other author's "more valuable"/higher-priced titles, your books (5-10K of them, in my case) were simply thrown into a machine and turned into papery mush. And these go on your sales record as "unsold copies". (sigh) Some discussion of this phenomenon can be found over here.

The serenity of knowing what is supremely and divinely right. The world is at last focused. This is the center. And strange—the center can only be a fulfilled circle, of course, which I never knew before because I was only a crescent moon, a curved half circle, curved in gaping, dolorous craving, bowed around emptiness, arms surrounding to meet nothing, a line unfinished, a life unrounded, a curve unfilled, suspended over the world, pale with unfullness, and now shining round, rounded, complete in geometric splendor, in to-tality, in full magnificence.

I am lying on a hammock, on the terrace of my room at the Hotel Mirador, the diary open on my knees, the sun shining on the diary, and I have no desire to write. The sun, the leaves, the shade, the warmth, are so alive that they lull the senses, calm the imagination. This is perfection. There is no need to portray, to preserve. It is eternal, it overwhelms you, it is complete.

i want to ask so many :D 15, 21, 27, 35?

Thank you, I love having so many to answer! :D

15. Which genre(s) are your favorite?

Ahhh, hard to choose! Probably horror, if I had to choose only one, but I'm also very big on historical nonfiction, fantasy/sci-fi (with a slightly preference for fantasy), and in the last few years I've gotten really into mysteries.

21. The book(s) on your school reading list you actually enjoyed.

I (obviously) did not have a school reading list this year, but back in the day one of my high school teachers had us read Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead and I was, as is only appropriate for a teenager in fandom, completely obsessed. If you haven't read it, it's a Tom Stoppard play that's literally fanfic of Hamlet, all about what the characters do when they're not "on stage", and how they deal with being fictional, and questions of fate and randomness and art. It's extremely meta and slashy and sad and also hilarious. It also contains this quote, which is from the acting troupe within the play, but comments on the nature of fiction in general:

We’re more of the blood, love, and rhetoric school. [...] I can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and I can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, or I can do you all three concurrent or consecutive, but I can’t do you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory — they’re all blood, you see.

Which (again, as is appropriate for angsty 17 year olds) I definitely used as a blog header for a few years. Also, I just read a OFMD fic that used the same quote as a thematic point and I need to find the time to write the author a long comment because it was SO GOOD.

27. What was the first book you remember reading as a kid?

I have a terrible memory and have no idea what the first book I read was. But I do remember being fairly young and obsessed with an edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales I somehow had. It had been read often enough that the cover had fallen off, so I must have gotten it second-hand, but I don't know if someone gave it to me or what. It was mostly unexpurgated and had creepy Arthur Rackham illustrations, and I remember being young enough to have this sense that I wasn't really supposed to be reading it, that no one knew I had this gory book full of child murders and torture and talking heads, so I only read it in secret. The drawing of the witch all wrapped up in the thorn bush (under "Sweetheart Roland" at the link above) still haunts my dreams.

35. Least favorite trope in your most favorite book genre.

I haaaaaate the Chosen One trope, and it is in so many fantasy novels. Particularly I hate the variety of it that goes "many people have tried to do X (where X = pull the sword out of the stone, kill the evil king, etc, whatever grand deed needs doing in this story), and they have all failed, but here comes the Chosen One, and they will immediately succeed, because they're just so much more ~special~ than anyone else, or because they really ~believe in themselves~, and I guess all the people who failed before and therefore died tragically and/or had to learn to live in the wake of their failure and ruined dreams can just fuck themselves, shoulda had more hope, I guess".

(Weirdly, the place this trope hit me the hardest recently was not a book, but Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. And I do! get! that there is important significance to having the One Who Finally Succeeds be a Black boy! But it's still a trope I dislike.)

Book meme!

13 May 2022: The Who Sell Out Deluxe Edition, The Who. (2009 Polydor/Universal expanded reissue of 1967 Track (UK)/Decca (US) release)

In 1995 a reissue campaign of The Who’s catalog (minus, peculiarly, their debut album The Who Sings My Generation) began. Who vinyl was long out of print, and these CD reissues significantly upgraded the shoddy first run of Who CDs that materialized in the ’80s. Most of the reissues contained a significant number of bonus tracks. It was quite luxurious compared to what Who fans had seen before, and I loved collecting them. I suppose I should say I still love to collect them, because I still do not own the version of Tommy from this reissue program. (You might surmise that this is the oldest reissue campaign that I began when new and have yet to complete, but I still don’t own a vinyl copy of The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine from the US reissue program that began in 1987, nor do I own The Rolling Stones’ Aftermath from their US vinyl reissue campaign that began in 1987. It is not for lack of caring or trying on my part.) I should also emphasize that the Who were my favorite band as an adolescent and I wore out their catalog on vinyl long before the ’90s reissue campaign began.

It took MCA until 1997 to produce reissues of the band’s entire studio works and the 1970 Live at Leeds; in 1998 a vastly expanded version of their 1975 rarities comp Odds and Sods followed, and in 2001 the soundtrack to the band’s documentary film The Kids Are Alright concluded the program.

The same year, as part of Universal’s excellent Deluxe Edition series that included many bands’ classic albums expanded into two-disc affairs, Live at Leeds got the treatment. These Deluxe Edition releases came in hard, clear plastic slipcovers, and it was the sure sign that a reissue was probably worth buying. (This would change; I remember Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road entry in the series was padded out with modern artists doing covers of his songs—pathetic.)

In 2002, The Who’s debut LP My Generation got the two-disc treatment, and in 2003 Who’s Next received the same. It would be six more years until another Who album materialized in the Deluxe Edition series, and that’s the one pictured above. The Who Sell Out’s two-disc set is arguably the most expansive of the lot: you get the album in stereo and mono as well as a whopping 27 bonus tracks. I don’t know where my mind was at in 2009, for I didn’t realize this thing existed until quite a few years later, when the album received a blockbuster Super Deluxe treatment in 2021. That was accompanied, for more modest purchasers, by an all-new two-disc deluxe edition. Never mind that the 2009 set was being supplanted and I was already guaranteed to purchase the new multi-disc Super Deluxe, I wanted the original deluxe version, too.

There would be two more Who Deluxe Editions, but they would not arrive before Universal dispensed with the plastic slipcovers. For a while, with new entries into that collection they did the shameful simulacrum of wrapping a piece of sticky tape (!) around paper digipaks that were printed to look like the frosted part of the plastic slipcovers that said “Deluxe Edition.” Eventually they did away with that (thank goodness) and just started putting a small sticker on the shrinkwrap of these releases that said “Deluxe Edition.” I’ll show examples of these collapsing stages of the Deluxe Edition program at the end of this post. As for The Who, Quadrophenia got the treatment in 2011 and Tommy in 2013.

Back to the album at hand: way up above we start with a photo of The Who Sell Out ensconced in its plastic slipcover, then there’s a shot of the slipcover slipped off, revealing the unexpurgated cover art. The third photo above is of the back cover. I could write a few pages about the back covers of these plastic slips, as well; most albums released in this manner have the track list printed on the back of the actual plastic cover. This allows for an unspoiled view of the reverse cover art. On The Who Sell Out, however, the titles are printed directly on the back cover of the album package and not on the back of the slipcover. For an ornate cover like The Who Sell Out, this is an outrageous change to make. Compare it to the Deluxe Edition of Live at Leeds: take the slipcover off, and the back cover is completely blank. At least Universal continued to use the same font for The Who Sell Out that is used throughout the program regardless of band, but choosing not to print the titles on the slipcover for this release is ridiculous. (There is yet another variation out there in the wilderness: for the Deluxe Edition of Siouxsie and the Banshees’ The Scream, the titles are printed on neither the plastic slipcover nor on the back cover: they are printed on a piece of paper that is inserted into the slipcover so that you can see it through the plastic! Record companies are nothing if not incapable of consistency.)

Back to The Who Sell Out: below is a look at what you see when you remove the album package from the slipcover and open it once. Ah, okay: the artwork obscured by the album titles is now visible in full (below left). Still, if I were the designer, I would have done it differently. 

 Next we see the package opened fully and revealing the discs.

Now, a close-up of the trays under the discs.

There is a thick booklet as well, but it merely replicates the album cover so I did not photograph it.

Let me know show some of the lazy ways the Deluxe Edition series was announced following the era of the plastic slipcover.

Forgive me for showing a different band’s album on a Who post, but I cannot find a photo of the wraparound sticky tape on a Who album. (These photos were taken from eBay.) Look in the photo below: you can tell here, if you look closely, that the lower fourth of this album package, under the shrinkwrap, has a band around it. That is sticky tape. It’s hard to see, but all the way over on the far edge of this band (on the lower right-hand corner of the album, not of the photo) the Deluxe Edition logo is replicated.

Here you see the shrinkwrapped album’s back cover. Note the two white patches on the bottom; these are the edges of the tape. On this release it doesn’t go all the way around. What a ridiculous thing to do to reproduce the effect of the plastic slipcover’s frosted bottom. I’ve had to pull this tape off of a couple of packages, and it is a small wonder that it is easily removeable and does not rip the jackets.

The last picture, taken from online, shows how the Deluxe Edition logo eventually got whittled down to a little sticker on the shrinkwrap of albums in the series. I know that it is a good thing to use less plastic, but hold an opened copy of the Tom Petty Deluxe Edition in your hand and a copy of The Who Sell Out in its slipcover and it’s obvious which one feels more special and meant to last. (Though I can attest that some of the plastic slipcovers do age poorly; I have one that is yellowing terribly. Most of mine are fine, but it’s a crapshoot.)

The Lincoln-Douglas Debates

This book edited by Harold Holzer claims it is “The first complete unexpurgated text,” meaning it’s the most accurate transcription of the debates, for the most part using the opposition newspapers’ transcriptions which presumably did not edit out any errors. He tells us, “Speaking from text, Lincoln was perhaps the most eloquent orator of his age. But as an impromptu speaker, he could be…

NEW REVIEW: Jack Ketchum - Off Season: The Unexpurgated Edition (1999)

Next up on DLS reviews we have a full blood-soaked dissection of Jack Ketchum’s debut novel, the brutal piece of extreme horror that is ‘Off Season’ (1981).

However, the version of the tale that goes under the DLS scalpel is Connection Press’ ‘Off Season: The Unexpurgated Edition’ (1999) which was an uncut and far more complete version of the original novel – how the author originally intended it. Enjoy!

Overview

Poet, dramatist, novelist, critic, teacher, and political activist Amiri Baraka, born LeRoi Jones, vividly recounts his crusading role in African American literature. A driving force behind the Black Arts Movement, the prolific Baraka retells his experiences from his participation in avant-garde literature after World War II and his role in Black nationalism after the assassination of Malcolm X to his conversion to Islam and his commitments to an international socialist vision. When The Autobiography of LeRoi Jones was first published in 1984, the publisher made substantial cuts in the copy. Under the careful direction of the author, the book has been restored to its original form. This is the first complete and unexpurgated version of Baraka’s life and work.

Audio Books Market Size, Sales, CAGR And Competition Data from 2022 To 2028

Audio Books Market size is projected to reach 25.51 billion USD by 2028 from an estimated 5.26 billion USD in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 25.3% globally.

An audiobook or a talking book is referred to as a recording of a book or other work being read out loud. A reading of the complete text is described as unexpurgated, while readings of a shorter version are a synopsis. Spoken audio has been accessible in schools and public libraries and to a lesser extent in music shops since the 1930s. Many spoken word albums were prepared before the age of compact disc, cassettes, and downloadable audio often of poetry and acts rather than books. It was not until the 1980s that the medium started to attract book retailers, and then book retailers began displaying audiobooks on bookshelves rather than in separate displays.  The development of books-on-tape over the past two decades has enthrallingly shaped the availability of the paperback material to a larger focus audience with multiple listening mediums. Audiobooks were introduced in 1932 by The American Foundation for the Blind or visually damaged users. These were in the form of multiple 15 minutes recordings.
