Eric,

I figured I’d be hearing from you eventually. No, I did not look forward to it having dealt with manic depressives on numerous occasions in the past. I don’t know if that’s your issue and (maybe) running around naked in the mountains will garner a few previously unknown readers, but my concern is whether you can hold it together long enough to get your book out. I don’t want to put my time into it and have you disappear down some rabbit hole. I’ve already lost a week of my life I will never get back due to the Pinesong debacle.

No, we would not still be on schedule for this fall. I have accepted easily 40 manuscripts since you went off the rails and am now scheduling for 2020.

As for sending the manuscript, I can’t do anything with a PDF, so just send a standard WORD file. The Table of Contents should have the titles in the order in which they appear, but no tabs or spacing of any kind on either side and no page numbers—since they will inevitably be wrong. Just a list of poem titles.

You can propose art for the cover, but I’m the final word on that.
