Got Someone Helping Me with Book Covers. Now, Getting a Copy-Editor!

I designed this cover using an image from pexels and a template from Amazon. Do you think it pops?

-Why?  The first is obvious.  I want my covers to pop, and I need a cover I can post in multiple forums, not just Amazon.  Plus, my next story coming out is longer, around 150 pages, and will require a spine.  I'm not messing with that. 

The copy-editor is a definite.  I don't want to have to re post my manuscript because I put an extra fucking period somewhere or misspelled a damned word.  Oh my Lord!  I detest typos.  My content editor gave me advice about reading for different issues at once, spelling, punctuation, grammar and I am going to try that.  Copy-editing is not the same as grading student papers.  Duh.  I had a writing friend recommend her copy-editor.  I am willing to try her for Wolf Trek. 

I was also shooting the shit with my friend Eric Yankee who is amazing at selling online, under a sexy pseudonym, like on the top 10 for romance, and I was picking his brain about the KDP (Kindle Direct) program.  Do any of you use Amazon's unlimited Kindle program?  I am having Aaron read the guidelines for it because I want to be able to give the *.pdfs to my students, and if I can't do that, forget it.

In the end, it's about the writing and getting better at the craft.  

That is why this weekend, I am going to try to crank out 100 pages of my novel draft The Harvest and only work on that.  I am going to finish this draft in June, yes this month, or so help me, I will extend the deadline to July. Ha ha ha.

Well, stay accountable and keep writing.

Meet your writing goals! If not, reset them, so you can kill them.  #Resist!
