My Debut Poetry Book Cover
My dear friends,
I’m so excited to announce that my first poetry book is in the final formatting stage. I’ll make another post tomorrow to set a launch date.
The paperback is already posted on Amazon and the proofread copies are on their way to my hands. Formatting the Kindle is another story and I can get it done this weekend.
Thank you for all of your help and encouragement.
I’m thankful for all the support for me to come this far in my poetry book. It surely put a smile on my face. This post is also for Trent’s Weekly Smile.

Thank you so much, Debbie. My book launch is next Monday, Nov. 5. I’ll post the themes of the book. One theme is Songs of Dissonance. You might have guessed what it is about.
I’ll visit your post tomorrow.

Thank you for being there. I set the launch date for next Monday, November 5. My blog tour wont be back to back. Whenever they can schedule me in their blogs. I have all the Editorial Reviews on Amazon for them to use. One blogger wants just those. ❤ xox

Sometimes it works better that way because sometimes people get tired of seeing the same people over and over. That’s why I did a 7 day tour. Some people do 10, 12 day tours. I also have a couple of people that have done things before and others that will do something later on. I think it’ll work well for you. All the best, my friend! ❤ xox

Thank you so much, Sally. It’s very kind of you. Formatting Kindle is a little tricky. I was getting to a point to call on you to see if your husband could help. I made changes on the Word doc three times. Finally I got it done close to what Kindle Create likes. (the paperback is 6 x 9). I researched and the recommendation is removed all the paperback formatting. I did. I’m 2/3 done formatting the Kindle version. I’ll do my book launch early next week, and will let you know. I don;t have the Amazon author’s link yet to go to your party. 🙂 ❤

I didn’t it, Trent. I glanced through your post about blurb. I rewrote mine tons of times! It goes on the back cover of my paperback but it won’t show on the eBook. I also have some endorsements on the back of paperback and wonder if people will every see them. Where do you put the blurb and endorsements for eBook? 🙂
LikeLiked by 1 person
For the eBook pretty much just on the Amazon page. The blurb is for publicity, so the number one spot for the lubricity is the point where people are deciding to purchase or not.
