Broccoli Books Blog

Hi, blogger Shiz here.

I just did the final edit of Nui vol 1.
This was my first read-through, so being my usual picky self, I demanded a lot of changes.

Poor production staff… they think they’re all done & I mess it up for them.
*sigh*

Well, the changes weren’t that big anyway.

The license manager at JIVE (who reads this blog… *gulp*), was asking if the files were ready to be approved, so we wrapped up the front pages & back pages and sent them for approval.

Still… I didn’t like the order of the ads in the back of the book, so I asked marketing coordinator Jonathan & crew to re-order them. It’s hard to explain how to order the ads… it’s just a feeling. Like “this feels right” kind of feeling. Anyhoo, this time it’ll be “same age rating titles that are new” in the beginning. Like Honoka Level Up and Koi Cupid.

I also need to send the color insert for Nui vol 1… which is in the middle of the book! We did it before with Disgaea2 vol 1 (and maybe one of the Galaxy Angel books?), but adding color inserts in the middle of the book requires a lot of pagination adjustments.

Basically you need multiples of 16 pages on either side of the color insert. Since books are printed in 16-page increments. Please read up on publishing to understand why it’s 16-page increments. It’s too bothersome to explain here (lazy!).

We’re shooting for an August release for Nui vol 1.
We’re on schedule, right?
