~~The Publication Story~~
2024-09-06 RIVER FACES NORTH is now released. To purchase, go to:
2024-04-30 - revised manuscript filed with editor
2024-04-22 - started receiving feedback on cover options - Thanks, everyone! Amazing insights!

2024-05-05 - submitted revised cover design
2024-05-21 - anticipated return of edited manuscript with recommendations and the beginning of final revisions
2024-06-03 - Edited manuscript was returned exactly on schedule. Revisions have been made and the revised manuscript reviewed. The new file is uploaded for final proofreading.
IF ALL GOES WELL, WE WILL BE IN LAYOUT IN EARLY JULY!! (This will be for the interior; the cover is ready. I will not reveal that just yet.)
2024-06-22- The proofreading came back this week. I have reviewed the changes, and am giving the book one last reading before uploading it for layout. Wednesday, June 26th is my target date for entering the layout stage.
2024-06-26 - Interior layout has begun. If all goes well, the first round will be back in July, and we will have a better idea of the publication date.
2024-07-03- The first proofs arrived Wednesday evening. I am now reviewing these, and expect to be uploading July 12th. (I am behind, as we lost our beloved Flo that same evening.)
2024-07-12 - The revised proofs have been uploaded, and the designer is entering the revisions. This process should take about two weeks. Check in any time on this page, as they might be early . . . or late! Please feel free to contact me through my website with any questions. Just go to the "Ask the author" option on the main page.
2024-07-26 The second round of proofs has been returned, reviewed, and uploaded for final adjustments. When the revisions come back, I will review the last changes . . . and then we proceed to production! Once again, please feel free to contact me through my website with any questions. Just go to the "Ask the author" option on the main page.
2024-08-15 The last revisions were reviewed and sent in last week. I have submitted my application for copyright registration, and am setting the online pricing based on distribution costs. The FriesenPress team will be reviewing everything and making sure everything is in place. That means we are heading into the publication queue. I can't predict a time frame, but things are certainly moving. Thank you for checking in!
2024-08-26 Just waiting for the print ready files now! On publication day, RIVER FACES NORTH will be immediately available through the FriesenPress Bookstore. We set the price a little lower for this one, as there are some shipping costs attached. Soon afterward, it will be available through the other channels!
