Last night the books were ready and I drove out to Bellevue College with a box of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies to see my classmates again, share some food, and sign our books.
It was a lot of fun and the book looks great. Print on Demand is exciting technology.
So that was a nice way to spend a Monday night. It also marked the first time I've seen my name in print (for prose), which only happened because I helped do it myself.
(The book would've happened without me, but if I hadn't taken the class or submitted my story, my work wouldn't have been printed. That's what I mean by "helped do it myself.")
Funny how that works.

Congrats! Do you have a link to the book?
It's a private printing so they printed 20 copies and then deleted the file, or something. Seriously though, we all wanted to keep our rights so we could submit the work to "real" markets without worrying about it falling under the reprint category. I can share the story with you if you're interested. I'm rewriting it again now and it'll be ready in a few days.
OK. Good luck with the rewrite!
