I GOT MY PROOF COPY!

Noticed a couple little formatting errors, but that's what I get for only giving myself a month to completely edit (and change the whole thing from present tense to past) and write 5 new chapters! *bounces*

Here are some pictures of the book (click to make bigger) :D


Red doesn't work too well on gray. Next time will need to outline in a dark color.


(Bright spot is from flash and the drawing is Elicia's sketch of me)


OMG the spine is actually in the right spot! Since I created the cover myself, I was worried it would be half on the front or something!

Been giggling like an idiot since lol.

And without the free code, it only would have cost like 9 bucks. Tempted to correct some mistakes and to it again!

Wow, I can see how tempting that is. Do you have a link? (You can email if you prefer) XD

createspace.com. Mine was 9x6 dimensions and just over 200 pages.

Cool, didn't know you could do such a thing :)

Yeah :)
There are several other sites out there too. They are basically for self publication, so you can submit them to Amazon and other booksellers as a print on demand.
Before you make the book 'public', it is assigned an isbn number and then you can order a proof copy of it. Once you approve that, then you can submit to Amazon and whatever. I never plan to go that far...I would prefer traditional publishing...so I haven't looked too deeply into anything past PROOF COPY :D :D :)
