Hold on! Before you jump too quickly to the conclusion that
I neglected my blog these past 3 weeks,
let me tell you something. I have been
tied up with a little project of my own which I think will help you---
self-publishing something! I always want
writers to be writing their memoirs. Not
exactly what I accomplished. But, in a way, because I wanted a family tradition
to live on, I made up a children’s story for Christmas. You see, placing 9
wooden scripture ornaments on our tree each Christmas Eve is what the kids in
our house did. While I've never written a children’s story, I fancied one
starring three little angels searching for the real Christmas.
So, how did I get started? Here’s how! Oh, not like the old
days when you looked for an agent and selected many publishers for simultaneous
submissions! I studied the self-publishing offers, checked with self-published
friends, and checked my bank balance. Did I need a hard cover/soft cover?
Page-sized illustrations? Not being a graphic designer… (Stay with me!....TBC
on Wednesday!)
