Glad it was useful! Thanks for reading. :)

This is the most detail I’ve ever seen an author explain about pass pages. Thank you for making them less vague! Also, I’d never heard of the “rivers and lakes” concept but that totally makes sense.

I'm glad it's helpful! It didn't really occur to me before that anyone might be wondering what "doing pass pages" actually meant until someone in my Discord made the mistake of asking a followup question and I immediately sat down to write a post instead of working on my pass pages. :P

This was super helpful, thank you for explaining it further! I've seen so many authors talk about pass pages but not explain their purpose (also so cool that that's what's used for ARCs!)

It's both a very cool time -- seeing how the book will look! -- and also just . . . reading the book AGAIN?? Or possibly, sobbing: please don't take the book from me! Often a mix of everything!

HoHugging is a hilarious typo/error. I’m glad you can now laugh about it. 😂

It's my FAVORITE. I can't believe nothing else like that has happened again.

Great post! My first time doing pass pages, I did print them out and went to a cafe with colored pens, just for the total experience.

But the second time, I was definitely in the "I can't even look at this book anymore!" phase of it all, and... may have been slightly less diligent than I should. The accelerated timeline that meant it was my fourth time fully going through the book in as many months. Maybe printing them, just so it's a different experience reading it, really would help!
