11th January 2021 Cover reveal!Happy New Year, everyone. The cover for Greetings From Effin’ Birds has been finalized. Here it is!
There's also a publication date, which I won't jinx by saying out loud. The site here says summer 2021 while I have been saying fall 2021 the whole time. I am told by students of the calendar that this date is, in fact, technically a summer date, but it is so late in the summer that I suspect…
1st October 2020 First DraftThe first draft of Greetings From Effin' Birds (minus the Request A Bird pages -- expect an email soon if you pledged at that level) is now in the hands of DeAndra, the same editor who shepherded the orignal Field Guide and had all those arguments with me about punctuation. With that, we can start looking at the schedule for the rest of the process.
There are a lot of parts involved, but the TLDR…
These people are helping to fund Greetings from Effin' Birds.

If the spirit moves you, I'd love to eventually see "Fuck that Noise" as an EffinBird... ideally with a crow or raven or other noisy bird :) I'd definitely get the t-shirt and mug... Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks, Wendy!
