Last night we sent our manuscript of Final Cut Pro: The Indpendent Studio Handbook to Focal. This was rather satisfiying, We wrote a book! However, I do have some fears, mainly based on two things. 1. Professional acceptance 2. Length. Let’s take a brief look at each.
During this process many people have said that the stuff you really worry about is the stuff that is really good. I think probably more then anything having the book accepted by peers as technically correct and I think more so as an good read is my biggest fear. It’s funny that our goal is to sell the book to lots of strangers, but its almost more important to me have it accepted and liked by the people I respect the most.
So, we might have written a lot. Is that such a surprise coming from me and Jason? It’s not like we’re verbose or anything right? Well we have been trying to find ways to have the book come in on at the correct length. Before our submission we thought we’d try, but we found this to be a non-starter. After all thats why we have editors right?
