I can’t quite believe it. I am on the home stretch now to get Jessie Grean published. Even though I had to push the publication date back to spring 2021, I am already bursting with excitement. Don’t get me wrong, there is still so much to do before Jessie Grean can finally find an audience, but….
Of course, there is the final revision once I will get my manuscript back from the editor. I hired her to find any spelling and grammar mistakes and other glaring issues with the novel.
Additionally, I am still deciding what I want to do with my book cover. The issue is I have none (imagine tears in my eyes). Months ago, I started to reach out to others on various social media platforms, like this to get book cover designers’ leads. After my initial angst of not finding anyone, I realized a ton of talented book cover designers are out there. Currently, I am looking at their portfolio, and hopefully, I will be working with someone shortly. I will write a septate post for that process down the road.
Another thing I am looking into is audiobooks. I love audiobooks. I have several month’s worths of titles collected over the past 20 years. So, for me, it was a no-brainer that I would an audibook for my debut novel. Currently, I am at this point there I am hoping to record the audiobook version myself. So, wish me luck.
There are two other projects I am working on as well. One is what you are reading at the moment. I decided to get back into blogging as well as starting a newsletter.
In the beginning, I felt overwhelmed by both decisions as I wanted to continue writing new fiction work.
However, I think blogging and newsletters are great ways to connect with you and keep you updated on my progress as a writer, Jessie Grean, the audiobook, and future projects as well as getting feedback.
Now you know how I am using my time when I am not writing fiction. What are you working on at the moment?
