Behind the Scenes Look at How the Sausage of My Gun Curious Book Got Made (Light Over Heat #72)

As announced on this channel last week, my book Gun Curious now has a publisher, the Exposit Books imprint of McFarland & Co. Publishers. I am finishing the manuscript as you read this and hopefully the book will be available for pre-order in Spring 2024 and for delivery in early summer.

This has been a long and arduous, exciting and demoralizing process, including working on a book from 2012 to 2018 then starting over on a different version of that book in 2018 leading up to shopping the book around in 2022-2023 and getting over 30 rejections.

In this week’s video, I take you behind the scenes to see how each of the major steps in getting to this point unfolded.

As noted in last week’s video also, after I complete the book manuscript I am going to cut back on my writing in favor of working on building a solid platform from which to launch this book next year. I’m hoping I can count on those readers who have supported me throughout this process and also bring new potential readers on board, whether gun enthusiasts, gun skeptics, or gun curious.

Stay tuned for much more in the months to come.
