This #indieauthor experience is challenging. #Design #editing is underway. I need to settle once and for all the glossy vs. matte debate. So far I've had the most votes for matte because it "feels more expensive...higher quality." The photographer in me prefers glossy blacks, though...Tell me, how do you vote? Touch or sight? Soft matte or glossy black?
Also, trying to tackle all of the "widows and orphans," polishing up chapter headers with a custom font, changing fonts that aren't working, addressing spacing, and most importantly getting this weird #CreateSpace printing issue resolved. Two print proofs with the same issue owed to what they claim is a lack of font outlining. Who knew all this stuff would take so long and be so hard?!
Special thanks are owed to my designer friend Erin for volunteering her expert insight and providing editing direction. (Thanks for being a supporter of Indies, Erin!)
This sets back the timeline for releasing the paperback. But I hope you will all hang in here with me and continue looking forward to the print edition release which is TBD.
Don't forget the #ebook for #SilverAwakening is complete and will release on #Kindle and #Nook Sept. 10th.
FYI After consulting with some marketing professionals the MSRP might be going up on ebook and print, but I'll run some promos to bring it back down. (I made last minute revisions to the acknowledgments and credits last night...had to add some deserving close peeps I missed...but the ebook is ready for release.)
Thanks, friends!
