Reply to comment by MaxFlorschutzAMA in I am Max Florschutz, author of Science-Fiction and Fantasy, back again to celebrate the launch of my latest book, Starforge! by MaxFlorschutzAMA

Thanks so much for the detailed answer! My father in law has just self published a novel, but gone about it very old school (garage of books and all). That made me very curious as I've always fancied the idea of finally pushing one of my drafts to completion one day.

Ten months of editing is mad, but your books are huge so I suppose I'm not so surprised. Massive congratulations on the completion of the book and it's trilogy, you must be both proud and relieved!

Thanks! It has been a journey. Six years from the reader's perspective, and eight years from mine. 1.3 million words all together. My next projects will be a bit more sensible. But it does feel good to finally have the trilogy be complete.

Good luck to your father in law with his first novel too! I know exactly how good that feels to hold the first one in your hands!
