I have just designed and compiled the text for a new book of sonnets, entitled “Arcadian Streams: A Bouquet of 330 Sonnets”. The image above is only taken from the front-matter. The cover will be separately done and beautifully designed. These have been selected from the almost 400 sonnets I have written over many decades. I am just doing my final ‘read-through’ and hope to have it ready for proofreading by the end of this week. It will be a large-format paperback book containing 186 pages, with a 5-page introductory essay about the history and purpose of the sonnet, followed by 165 pages with two sonnets on each page, so not a huge task to proofread (unlike my two previous books of 600 and 1043 pages!). The proofing should be doable within 10 days, give or take. Does proofreading this work appeal to you? If so, then you will be eligible for a free copy of the book when it is printed, hopefully early in March. If you are interested in contributing in this way, please either make a comment on this post, giving your email address, or email me at under-the-radar@outlook.com . Many thanks!

PS: The print-run will be limited, so if you would be interested in purchasing one of these books (which will have a beautifully designed cover) please let me know and I will ensure that one is reserved for you for when you are ready to order.

With Blessings and Best Wishes,
