Today was Manuscript Day–the day I finally placed the manuscript of my book, Voting Amid Violence: Electoral Democracy in Colombia, in the mail to my editor. As many of you know, I have been working on the book for almost two years, and am extremely pleased to finally have the full draft completed on it its way. Now I wait for the reviewers comments, revisions (hopefully not too many!) and on to the presses.

Congrats, Dr. T!
I co-wrote a chapter in a book and thought that was exhausting.

Wow, you were writing a book! You should have told me.
Congrats on getting it done, btw. That absolute deadline works wonders, doesn’t it.

Congrats Doc. If it ain’t $40 gazillion (ala Dr. Rinehart) I will actually read it.

WooHoo! I just got a book chapter into press. That was a mess, and I was just submitting 12,000 words. Kudos to you for all the hard work. Fingers crossed that it is well received!

Gracias all around!
And yes, hard deadlines become a necessity after a while!

Excellent news. And as someone who has read most of the chapters, I hope Dr. Taylor won’t’ mind my saying that it’s going to be the best book out there on Colombian elections and parties! (And I know something about the literature on said topics.)

High praise indeed–many thanks!
Can I put that on the book jacket?
