Holding Your Book

Byaudenjohnson

I love ebooks, but there’s nothing like holding your first book. I finally finished the layout of The Sciell and uploaded it into CreateSpace. I had to upload and re-upload it because first, my interior was rejected and then my cover was rejected likes three time. Finally, everything is done…almost.

 I just got the proof. It is perfect.

Well played CreateSpace. I was a little worried, but you do good work.

This is just a draft. I’m finding things I need to change, but for the most part, I love it! I can’t stop looking at it. I don’t know what I expected, but I didn’t expect this.

It looks and feels like a real book.

The author emailed a drawing of what they wanted the book…
