It's been several weeks since my book was submitted to the printer. The woman there who is the designer (Johanna) is very hard to get in touch with and it's been frustrating to say the least.
However, at long last, we have finalized the proof. (A good thing because I was about to fire them for inattentiveness).
Johanna was good enough to fix the text/printing on the back cover, which was blurry on the proof. She explained that it was blurry because of the resolution when creating the file -- we'll know for next time.
AND, the biggest freak-out for me: I found TWO typos! One on the front copyright page and one in the VERY LAST LINE of the book. Now I'm worried that there are going to be more....
So I'm hopeful that the printing will start this week. Not sure when the final copies will be delivered but I'm anxious to get them so I can post my book on Smashwords.
Last weekend I removed all the formatting in the book to get it ready for submission to Smashwords, the website that publishes books in electronic format. I'm am holding off sending it to them until I actually have a hard copy of the book in my hands. Don't ask why; call me kookie, but I don't want to jinx the pitcher so to speak.
So here we go: fingers crossed (again) (I've been doing so much finger crossing lately that my hands are cramped!)
