How we came to publish this one
Martin approached us with this story, It wasn’t yet quite ready for publication so he worked with a couple of our developmental editors before it then went through our normal editorial process.
The title
Yes, it’s a story about a music school.
Some notes about the process
This went through the normal three stages of editing:
· A structural edit
· A line edit
· A proof read
As well, of course as the normal four proof reads.
The cover
This was a composite picture using copyright-free material including one of Martin’s own photos. The main concept was Martin’s own. Our designer worked with him to get this exactly right.
Some notes about style
This has an old-fashioned voice which is one of the main features of the text.
Who we think the reader is
Although we’ve published this under our Red Telephone imprint this may well be enjoyed by an adult reader who likes some nostalgia.
What else
The quirky point has to be the talking musical instruments. Curious? Then take a look at the book.
