Proof time. There is nothing quite like the feeling of seeing your proof copy of your new book. What’s better, the final published copy.
When Brenda, Norm and I were in the midst of editing our proof of $uccess, Your Path to a Successful Book it was exciting. Naturally, we were hoping for just a few edits. The count went to 44. It reinforced the need for editing. Brenda and I don’t begin to catch what Norm does. It looks different in print than on the screen or just a document copy.
Our first book had over 150 changes, so we did improve.
Based on seminars and workshops Brenda and I have given and people asking us for a book, we decided to write $uccess. We’ve ended up with a book that we wish we would have been able to read before we wrote our first book together, Our Love Affairs with Food & Travel.
We want to thank all of those who urged us to write this book.
We don’t profess to be experts, but have learned a great deal from experience and our book reflects it. The section that is not covered in detail would be E-Books. They have rapidly evolved. I know a post is due soon on E-Books. If anyone would like to make a post on E-Books, we would welcome it.
We invite comments and we are happy to feature tips from others.
