The first electronic proof of our calendar order is ready for approval. Found some errors. Fixed them and sent an updated print PDF.
First Chapter Edit Deemed a Success By All
Met with our editor. Looks like this relationship is going to work great! We have similar tastes in writing styles, she has reference materials for all the editing rules and has been a professional editor for almost 30 years.
Adding Social Media Links
Adding our Pinterest, Google, Twitter and Facebook accounts to both websites!
Print on Demand Printers and Pre-Book Details
While the first book isn't done yet, we need to start learning the process of working with a printer. Signed up with the print on demand printer, Ingram Spark/Lightning Source.
Also started working on details for the front and back covers, as well as the inside Copyright page. Bought our ISBN's from MyIdentifiers.com, assigned one of our ISBN's to the 10,000 Steps Straight Up book, and applied for the Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN), via loc.gov. Started figuring out the barcodes for the back of the book from BarCodesInc.com. Who said this was going to be easy? What where we thinking?!?!?
Book Editor Found!
We have have found our editor! We'll be sending a trial chapter to her first and go from there. If it works for her and us, we'll be on our way to a professionally edited book!
2016 Calendar
Calendar it is, for the Colorado Country Christmas Show in Denver! Today we setup an account with the company who will print our 2016 calendar. Dennis is picking out the photos, editing them, laying them out and we are both looking for philosophical quotes to include in each month.
Business Brand and Websites
Figured out our business branding and launched our new websites!
Publishing business and book information:
MooseMountainPublishing.com
and
Stories and photography:
SacredMountainOdysseys.com
It will take a while to get photos added, etc. This is just the bare bones version! The ShaolinExpedition GoogleGroups emails that we've been sending out since our 2012 trip to China, will be added to the Blog area of SacredMountainOdysseys.com. Again, it will take time to add them, including the photos that were sent out with each email.
Website Launch!
The moment has come to start sharing our efforts over the last 25 years, with the world!
Pass it on and watch for updates!
Blessings,
Dennis&Anita Lunt
