It’s great to be able to say to my students, I know just what you’re going through because I’m going through it, too. The book is on fast forward, moving faster than I ever dreamed it would.
Here’s what I’ve done:
- Had my manuscript copy edited
- Purchased my ISBNs
- Had my book cover and interior designed (now in layout)
- Applied for a fictitious name for my publishing company
- Opened an account with CreateSpace to publish the book
- Begun to fill out their voluminous application forms
- Created a new Web site and ShopSite store
- Developed a detailed marketing plan
- Registered my copyright
- Designed bookmarks
- Read galleys and have them copy edited
- Create list and send out readers’ copies
- Write press release and set up press room on Web site
- Make a list of local TV and radio talk shows
- Write talking points for interviews
- Contacted a copy editor for the galley proofs
- Begun to request testimonials from fellow authors
