Writing, Designing and Publishing
I’ve been debating whether to spend the money on an ISBN for GLT because it’s so short–108 pages. Part of me thinks that $100 is a frivolous expense for a novella, but I am proud of the design work I did for this book and want to show it off. Here is a shot of the interior cover page.
I gave some thought about using Lulu’s “Published by You” service ($50) and even went so far as to buy a domain name for my publishing company because nothing screams vanity like having your name listed as the publisher on Amazon. I’ve decided to call this company Crescent Moon Publications. So far, I’ve done absolutely nothing with that because I’ve been too busy trying to finish this year’s writing projects. This will be a project for next year.
For now, I’ll opt for the “Published by Lulu” for marketing purposes. I’ve given a copy to an acquaintance already and plan to bring a copy or two to work for my coworkers to read. I’m hopeful that they’ll enjoy the book and want to recommend it to their friends or family. If that’s the case, then I can’t complain about spending the $100.
I’m still plugging away on the rewrites for Prosperity and getting closer to typing “THE END.” I can’t even begin to tell you how glad I am to finish this project. Can any of you recommend a good professional editor that won’t charge more than $1 per page?

Have you ever considered doing book layouts and designs for other writers?

Yes, I have.
I’m trying to build my portfolio at the moment. If you know anyone who needs design work, could you let them know about me?

I could. In fact, I might need your services. Drop me an email.
