I 👏 GOT 👏 MY 👏A 👏B👏Ms👏
aka Advanced Bound Manuscripts!
It’s just a very basic, unformatted, uncorrected version of the manuscript (the approved final revision, but it hasn’t been through copyediting or proofreading or pass pages etc. yet), used by me, Agent, and Editor to solicit blurbs from other authors!
An e-book version will be available as well, but these are for me to take to events and give out! Or to just hold and squee over. I had no idea they were coming, (or that it’d be so exciting to see it printed and bound like this) so HAPPY FRIDAY TO ME!
There’ll be another version someday called an ARC, which will have the actual cover and all that good stuff (and hopefully, some of the blurbs we get from peddling these guys!)

What a cool milestone.. seeing your manuscript in a bound form even before full editing must feel amazing! It’s a great reminder of how much work goes into getting a draft ready. When the time comes to polish it for submission, a PHD editing service can really help sharpen your language and presentation.
Great post about the publishing process so much work goes into each manuscript! It serves as a reminder of the value of expert advice when presenting our work. Similarly, a lot of job searchers go for CV writing services near me to equally effectively highlight their abilities.
That’s such an exciting milestone congrats on receiving your ABMs! It’s amazing how real a story feels once it’s physically bound, even in draft form. For those of us still refining our work, getting manuscript writing help can be a crucial step toward reaching this point. Wishing you all the best as you head into the ARC stage!
Exciting insights into the publishing process thanks for sharing! For those preparing their work for submission, affordable scientific PhD manuscript editing services UK can really make a difference in clarity and impact.
Wow, what an exhilarating moment to hold your manuscript in print! The anticipation of seeing your work come to life is truly unmatched. With the support of the best British Book Publishers, you’re well on your way to creating something extraordinary. Can’t wait to see the final ARC with all the bells and whistles! Happy Friday indeed!
