The two editions after both rounds, and six covers
Both rounds ran overnight, and the 3- and 10-page editions are attached as they stand now. Each has cover A on the front, a marker on every scene page showing who is on stage, and a head beside every speaker. Five test readers read them fresh. All five would start tomorrow from both editions and would share them, and three would buy the longer book; on RC1 every reader said maybe. They are not final yet. Four figures still print as dashed boxes, and the checks found small fixes, so one last edit and rebuild is under way. Two things need you: the six covers (CV2) and one word (RL1).
For the editor to decide
- CV2 Which cover? Six proposals on the signed title (pictured below)
- RL1 The running line: 'build' or 'ship' something somebody else can use?
- Type Larger boxes, or even margins for screens?
