After the whole trademark issue with the Gamebook , mentioned in a previous post, we had some serious thinking and work to do. First off, we had to check that none of the other names we were using were trademarked in the same way. Then as the main character had changed, some of the secondary characters names had to change too as they wouldn't made sense to anyone familiar with Barsoom. We also found that the objective of the book, the "mission", had to change!
None of these were/are major changes, and I've just completed my required edits. I also took the opportunity to fix a couple of minor issues that I had spotted in the P.O.D. version that had slipped through all of the proofing.
I've handed the work back to my collaborator so that he can do his changes. He's actually got the most work to do for this revision. Not only the text edits, but he is also "cover man", and he is going to have to remake the cover using the new title and cover blurb. He's very good at that sort of thing, but I appreciate it is a lot of work.
