Hi Everyone! 

Here's a quick update to keep you in the loop on this incredible book adventure. 

For anyone that participated in the campaign and secured some bonus perks, I'd love to get something on the calendar for you so I can coordinate things here at home.  

Feel free to reply to this email and I'll be messaging you this week to get an idea for what will work best in terms of dates and the content that will help you the most.  

Book Stuff

1.  My Sample Chapters Are Finished - One of the first big hurdles since the campaign ended was to knock out and submit the first embers of life on The Choreography of Customer Service in the form of two chapters.  They've been sent over, huge sigh of relief, but there is still plenty of work to be done. 

2.  Editor - My editor hasn't pulled any punches and has really helped me lock in and improve as a writer.  For all of us dancers, it's like having coaching lessons.  The best coaches will challenge you to change you for the better and that is certainly taking place here.  This experience is the first consistent form of coaching for my writing since college and I'm feeling challenged and changed because of it.  

3.  Publishers - The biggest publishing houses in the world expect some sample chapters if they're going to consider you (that is, unless you're a former President or celebrity).  So getting #1 finished means that The Choreography of Customer Service is going to be evaluated by teams that publish the books you see and read everyday.  

Final Thought

I think I've always been the type of person that wants to wait until the best, breaking news happens before sharing an incremental step in the process, but that's the least I can do for you who have shown enough interest and belief in this adventure to support it at the inception of the idea instead of withholding that support until the finished product.  

Thank you, 

Chris
