I finalized the cover art this week and received the copy-edited version of the manuscript. Yes, things are beginning to happen. The revised version of Desert Ice will be a reality sooner rather than later.
I’ve worked through the edits recommended by the editor, and now I needed to do a final read. Once that’s complete, the next step will be sending the manuscript off for interior formatting. I’d love to be able to do that myself, but that’s a little more than I’m capable of handling at the moment. After that, it should just be a matter of publishing it! The reality is I could conceivably have the book ready to publish by the end of October, just in time for Halloween. I’ll know more about my official launch date once I contract for the formatting. This means I need to start thinking about marketing. I’m not sure where to begin, but I wasn’t sure where to begin with self-publishing either. So, I guess I’ll figure it out. This will be the next part of my adventure. My plan is to use Kindle Direct Publishing at first and then see what resources I can leverage there. I’ve also made a list of a few websites to reach out to about promotion. Of course, I hope that writing regular updates on the project has helped generate some interest. In any case, whether I’m ready for marketing or not, this is happening. The pieces are starting to fall into place. RM
