I have now lost count of my drafts of This Is Not the Book That Will Save Your Life.

I am leaving up the draft I posted the link to a couple of days ago, but I have already made a couple of changes—replaced one or two poems, added another one, fixed a typo.

In the meantime, I am waiting to see if Bowker runs another special on ISBN bundles. I wanted to take advantage of their last one (on the 100 ISBN bundle), but then there was that whole gotta pay the rent sort of thing. So here’s hoping for one of their discounts on the bundle of 10 ISBNs…

E-book adventures, February 2017, Part 2

It worked, so everything now looks the way it should. (As a precaution, I re-saved and uploaded the updated document to Amazon as well, so that the files will be consistent with each other.)

On the title thing, I chose to capitalize the only the first word. My updated file is now being reviewed, so I should know soon whether or not I have to do anything else.

Whee!

I am taking advantage of the snow day, and the current break in my copy-editing work, to generate and upload the e-book editions of …but for the thoughts running through my mind. It is turning out to be a pain… Continue reading
