Yesterday, I received the final email confirmation from my coauthor which I wanted to hear: she will send the book proposal to our propspective editor at
Corwin Press. How sweet!
It's hard to believe that what started as a dream back in Israel, has evolved into subsequent drafts, 50 to be exact.
I put the dream in motion as a new immigrant in Pittsburgh, writing on my own in the Squirrel Hill library in Pittsburgh from my laptop along with files of the teacher's life, then collaborated with a coauthor after a talk with my editor. Now, our editor will see the fuits of the process: two proposal chapters, a resource file and a chapter synopsis - come tomorrow morning.
It has been a journey.
We have chapters 3-4 to revise and another one to fully write.
Now, the waiting time begins.
