Delivery as in when it is to be given to the publishing company, is it on computer or typewriter?

I guess SK probably doesn't write his whole books with old typewriters anymore.
He gave up the typewriter in the '90s and has been using Mac computers (both desktop and MacBooks) ever since. The only exception was Dreamcatcher which he wrote out completely in longhand and I then transcribed to the computer to be sent to the publisher. Manuscripts are usually printed and a digital copy made to be sent along with it when it goes to his publisher and agents. If it's only a short story, though, that is usually sent via email these days.

Well, that explains all of his mistakes! Just kidding, please don't ban me.

...Marsha would know this for certain...last I heard or read, he still printed out manuscript pages-but when all is final?...don't know if he e-mails or hard-copies...I think the days of a literal "trunk novel" have passed though...

NO!!!!!!!!!! I didn't mean it, Dreamcatcher was perfect!!!

The story and the movie were perfect! The movie had Damian Lewis my favorite sexy ginger. :love-struck:

The woods are lovely dark and deep
I am still stuck in the Wizard and Glass stage at the moment (book four) but I enjoyed the first three very much! :cheerful:

... and so saying that I must grab that book and run - Andy has a doctor's appointment with an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist - the surgeon who operated on him back in 2007 - must run - catch you guys later!
:byebye:
Hope everything is alright.
