27 hours ago, Beyond the Wall's cover was sitting on my best friend's desk as she touched it up with watercolor paints and pens. Tonight, my proof copy is printing in Tennessee, on track to be at my house by Friday.

It's been a minute, but with mid-July comes three exciting announcements: an interview, a cover, and a release date!

Once you've proofed and purchased everything you need... it's time to publish! Technically, you've done what you need to do, but there is more you can do to make it a bigger success.
