To be fair, I loved the original cover for Midwife. My first publisher, Sybaritic Press, let me design it myself and my good friend Devin Cooper shot the photograph and laid out the title. The story of how it came together is a good one… for another day.
That’s because today I have permission to share the new one. My new publisher, 47North, created this one and it’s the cover that will be on the new edition of Midwife, due out October 11, 2016. I can hardly wait to hold it in my hands.
I love the desolation and cold of this one. I’m making plans now for launching this new version: new cover, new edit, same story.
For those of you who are ready for a new story, Book of Etta will follow in early 2017.
Can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait.
Hi Meg. I loved Midwife. Is the new edit substantial enough to warrant a reread? Thanks.
Hey Kevin! Thank you! So, it’s not a substantial edit. My publishers wanted the book to stand, since it had already won the PKD and made such an impression. This edit was more of a clean-up than a rewrite. I’d say in your case, hang in there until the sequel is out next year. 🙂
Great, thanks Meg. I’ll look forward to it.
