The Cloth of Egypt: All About Assiut – Status Update

 

59109cea5dea5073304261847e460090_largeI’ve been sooo busy working on my upcoming book, The Cloth of Egypt: All About Assiut that I’ve been let blogging slide for the moment.  However, I thought you might want to know how the book is progressing.  I recently posted a detailed breakdown of my current status over on the Kickstarter page – remember that campaign I ran last summer?  There was such an outpouring of support that I was able to invest the money in more research materials, ephemera, image rights, and sewing materials.  This has lead to a much more interesting and comprehensive book than I had initially described in my Kickstarter pitch video!

My plan is to have the images and text laid into the master document by Mid-May, and final edits until done.   At this current production rate, I’ll be anticipate being finished by the end of June/early July.   I’m so committed to this timeline, that I’m scheduling a big book release party in August.    I look forward to resuming my regularly scheduled blogging activities in May when the book is in final edits!

I’ll be sending out my next newsletter end of April – so be sure to sign up for my mailing list!

Thank you for your continued interest and support!  ~ Dawn
