We’re Getting into the Spring of Things

Shortly after Valentine’s Day, Ruth returned her revised manuscript to our team, and we got started on line-level developmental editing. This go-around of editing basically involves no major changes or alterations, and it is instead focused on making Ruth’s manuscript the best version of itself.

An Analysis of Cover Art by an Ooligan Novice

This is my first term at Ooligan Press, and like the others in the program I love books. I love to read them, and I love to analyze them inside and out. I chose to look at all the Ooligan covers—past, present, and in development. The two that caught my attention the most were The […]
