The clock is ticking. At the end of December I’ll be taking down the serialized chapters of Greener Pastures.
The publisher Simon & Schuster has bought the rights to publish the work as a book-book in the spring of 2024. A trade paperback, to be exact. In the meantime I’ll be revising it—radically—to jazz up the second act. As it stands, the second act feels too much like Architecture & Dialog, my pet peeve in fiction.
Rest assured if you read it again in 2024, Greener Pastures will be a largely different book. Until then, you have until Dec. 31st to read the serialized version.
Time is Running Out
Congratulations Boss! I’m excited for a copy of that.
Hi chuck, don’t know if you’re open to this. But maybe it would be nice to do a post on your own analysis of this book as is? How do the acts work? What are the key scenes and why? What are your thoughts on the second act?
