[PubQ] Creating bonus content for special editions
I recently learned that my 2027 novel will have a special edition made for it, and we are just getting started on early discussions about what is needed from me in the coming months. This will include some kind of bonus content.
I'd love to hear from other authors about their experience being asked to produce bonus content for a SE. Did it have to be a bonus chapter / different POV chapter? Did whoever is producing the SE tell you what they wanted it to be, or did you get to choose? Were you given a tight timeline to turn around the material, or did you have a longer lead time to get it finished? Did it ever feel overwhelming to have to dig back into a book that is, in every other way, already done?
I know my experience will likely not mirror anyone else's exactly, but having never done something like this before, I'd love to hear how it went for others. All SE types are welcome — retailer, book box, etc.
