I published the trade paperback book through Createspace, Amazon's print-on-demand company. Over all, it was a very easy process, and I'm still blown away by the idea that I can submit it today and get a finished paperback book next week. WITH full color cover. Amazing. Technology has finally caught up to me. Now all those finished books and manuscripts sitting in my drawer can see the light of day.
I had to scramble around and design a logo to put on the cover, and came up with this simple design:
Publishing the first e-book is always the most complicated. If I did dozens everyday, I could do it a lot faster. But I've learned so much in the last month, I feel like my brain has been stretched.
Next thing, I'm teaching myself to do book trailers. Piece o' cake, right? LOL!
The whole field of digital publishing has given many authors a new way to get their writing out there. And with print-on-demand, there are no returns, no wasted paper, no books sitting around in cartons collecting dust.
Amazing stuff, this e-publishing!
Oh, by the way, as soon as I get a copy of the printed cover, I'll post it. It's different from the e-book cover, but still has that familiar horse on it. :-D
Happy trails from Texas!
