in transit

where to start?

these days, i am working parallel on a couple of projects. there is the editing of BluePrintReview magazine, which comes with a new issue, and includes a book page for the second time now (here). and there is the book i am working on myself, a collection named "in transit". the first idea for it was to create it all handmade, but this didn't work out. plus, since a while, i was considering to revive blueprintpress, as a "print sister" of BluePrintReview...

somehow, this all now clicked together. the new issue of BluePrintReview is complete, and going live in joyful (dis)comfort. and in transit is on its way - the printer mailed yesterday, the test copy has shipped and should arrive in the next days.

plus, the webpage for blueprintpress is now taking shape, together with the plans for the next projects. more about that, soon. right now, i am focusing on getting in transit on the way, which will also be published under the blueprintpress label. i thought about it, the main reasons to take that way is that i want to try different publishing/distribution options, and i wouldn't feel good to try this with another author's manuscript. the process of figuring out the way includes some trial-and-error by nature, which also means: it includes a good chance that things won't exactly work out at first try. and i rather sent my own words on a detour, or see them messed up. so in transit will be the blueprintpress guinea pig, or rather: the pathfinder. (and a beautiful one, for that).

here a preview of the bookpage-in-progress: in transit.

soon, and it will be real. on paper. arriving here. and also soon now: blueprintpress. and with it, an idea for a new novel format. one that surfaced while in transit. and yes, there will be a call for manuscripts coming. soon. :)
