To Self-Publish...

...one must first format one's book properly. I admit, I have only the slightest idea of what I'm doing. However, I must trust Lulu when it tells me the margins it requires and the size of the file I can upload in order to publish with it. I started the process of formatting many moons ago and have still only reached page 89 out 130-odd pages in my YA novel. I'm excited, but it is tedious work and when I'm also hunting for a day job and trying to organize a household after having gotten married and moved a month ago, well. Things slip through the cracks, you understand. In addition to the formatting, I've been polishing some areas of the story that were only roughly edited previously. Thanks much to my friends who have helped in that area of the process. The story would not be where it is today and I would be far less capable if you hadn't helped. Speaking of those who have helped, do any of my librarian friends want a free copy of the book for their collections? I mean the ones that are available to the general public, of course, but I'd take a request for a private collection, too. Or, if you'd rather sample the book first, just email me at the address on my profile. I'm happy to have any readers, or potential readers, at all at this time! Have any of you self-published? Do you have suggestions or advice? I'm happy to hear it! Comment below, please.
