I got the ARC for Confessions of the Sausage Queen yesterday. ARC stands for 'advanced reader copy' and my last job as a writer in the process from signing a contract to having a book released is to go through this copy with a fine tooth comb, rooting out all of the typos, the double periods, the missing quote marks, and so forth.
I love getting ARCs because it means the book is almost ready for publishing--Confessions is set to release the first week in July-- and that's an exciting thing, though, quite honestly, proof reading isn't my favorite activity. I'm not a detail person and always worry that I miss things in this 'dental draft'. (Stay with my blog long enough and you'll no doubt see a few mistakes in the text). On the plus side, the book has been edited for content and then line edited again, so the mistakes are few and far between. I'll root out a few and hope I catch them all.
