The Book Update Continues...

Earlier this week I responded to the publishing house I'm working with...to submit my changes regarding my book!

When I received the first set of proofs last week, a marketing team had made suggestions for changes in the text on the back cover of the book. I figure they're the marketing experts. I'm the marketing dropout. (Literally. I took a marketing class my last semester of college and dropped out after a week to make time to work more hours. Such an overachiever.)

They also offered a proof of the text so I could look over that. There was one thing I didn't like that they'd changed from my original way of submitting it, so after thinking about it for a while and taking a poll among potential readers, I asked them to change it back to the way I had it.

I heard back from them last night and they said modifications were underway, and when they're done, I'll get another set of proofs to check.

I've told some of you (in real life) that I struggle with the self-promotion portion of this journey. I love my writing. It's one of my favorite parts of my life. But even though I love it, I am not great at talking it up. I hate to sound like I'm bragging or pushing my work at people. So I know when the book is out, it's going to be a stretching experience for me to be enthusiastic. Talking about it here or on Facebook seems safe...talking about it in person is harder!
