Finally our printer and distributor sent through their eproof for our final approval so that now I can get sample copies of the book printed before ordering the print run.Wow I was so excited sailed through the day with a big smile on my face …….Finally my little publishing company was gaining traction
I had hoped to get a print run out before Christmas but we are really close now
Then my formatter Ceci from Melbourne who hails from Macau (I’d never heard of it )
emailed me to say she had gone online and found the Ebook for sale in three online bookstores WHAT THE?????? I hadn’t even seen a copy of the Ebook myself and here it was out there in the big wide world without the proper cover on it mind you OMG I hyperventilated There was my baby flaunting her wares on a Canadian online book store ……and not dressed in her proper cover
I felt like a watchful mama suddenly finding her daughter out shimmying and showing off out on the town far too scantily dressed for the occasion ….”Come home this instant “I thought to myself
I had to call it back in pending changes to the cover ,plus I wanna see what it looks like as an Ebook first before letting it go out and needing to see what we as authors actually get paid by way of royalities for the ebook side of things They are calling authors royalties authors compensations Isnt compensation what you get when you have an illness not when you create a work of artistic and literary merit you ‘d like to share with the world ???
I can see I need to do a lot more research about the ebook side of things with this partocular company
Meanwhile onto the next step creating a sales website and a Creme and Caramels Kids club inuagural newsletter
Please wish us all a merry christmas and a new year in which we thrive and prosper
