Last summer, Ben and I went through the manuscript for my new book: Please eat... with a tooth comb. However I've changed and expanded it quite a bit since then. So now he's decided to go through it all again, so I ordered 2 final printed proofs which arrived the other day: one for me and one for him.
I've already been through mine. He's still on chapter 4 of his (only another 28 to go... 255+ pages in all...). Not because he's finding problems with it (although there is the odd minor tweak I need to do), but because, I suspect, it doesn't make easy reading for him.
But he's adamant that he wants to read it again. So I will need to wait until he has finished before I can go ahead and publish.
And I may decide to order another "final" printed proof before I do.
Just to make sure it's perfect!

Want information on eating disorders in boys? Worried your son has an eating disorder? What are the signs of eating disorders in boys? In 2009 my 15-year-old son developed anorexia. Now aged 31 and with a MSc in Psychology he is recovered & working in mental health using his experiences to help others. I help to raise awareness of eating disorders in boys, point parents to helpful resources & talk about how eating disorders can traumatise families.
looking forward to it :)
