We’re definitely in the home stretch with Professional WordPress. The cover is done (and looks pretty sharp). All of our technical editing and content review is done, which means we know what we’re going to say and how we’re going to say it. 11 of the 15 chapters have gone through production, giving us proofs of the finished, printed page that we’re reviewing for style, missing punctuation, last minute spelling or grammar fixes, and the occasional wayward angle bracket.
If we get the last batch of page proofs back next week, and production goes back to fix the page breaks that our proofreading damaged, the book goes to the printer sometime in the next few weeks. From the printer it goes to the Wiley distribution network, with boxes of shiny new titles going to Borders, Barnes & Noble, amazon.com, and your favorite local technical book nook.
Roughly two months from today, coincident with the first pitch of baseball season, Professional WordPress will be in full swing as well.
