Have you thought about sending out review copies of /Ōsweald Bera/? I think that there are one or two people at mainstream publications, especially in England, who might be interested.
What about memorizing vocabulary? I found with Osweald that I needed to read each chapter four or five times, at least before I began to remember unfamiliar words and their different forms. Might it be more productive, perhaps, to highlight, say, ten or fifteen words for memorization?
You're certainly on to something with reading the chapters multiple times. Language learning readers cry out for rereading – I don't think it's possible to absorb everything in one go. It does take a bit more time than reading straight through but I think it's worth it.
I'm excited to read this. Will there be a Kindle/e-book version?
At release it'll just be a physical book but digital stuff is not ruled out for later!
When will this book be available?
My best guess is within the next 6 weeks, and certainly before the end of the year.

Hi Leo! It's a great idea -- did you have anyone in particular in mind? If so, I can connect them to the publisher!

Excellent explanation of your motivation in writing your book. Really makes me want to read it in one of your Old English courses.
Thank you for the kind words, Gerald!
