I got the countersigned contract back from Carina Press for Gutter-wing -- renamed to Demon's Fall -- so it's all official! The executive editor was kind enough to actually call me about the acquisition, which was an exciting first for me. Things moved along at a steady clip from there:
Revisions are already done, and I'm quite happy with them. (I've been lucky with my editors so far, across all three publishers.) It does seem to be a struggle for me to give the heroine's arc proper weight and curvature when I write from the hero's POV. The cover art request is also in, and I'm quite curious how that'll turn out. And while there isn't a firm release date yet, I've got an idea-seed for a connected short story I'd like to post at the same time. Now to find the time to write it while navigating the new job...

Congrats on getting the contract and having edits go well. :) Good luck with the cover! [crossed fingers]
Question -- does the Carina contract have any kind of a paperback option?

Thanks!
And they claim all rights (not just a paperback option), which is apparently pretty standard for Harlequin.
Ooookay. That's actually a bit disturbing, but at least it means you might have a paperback out some time, which would be awesome. :)
