The cover of Shemlan - A Deadly Tragedy.
I had tested a tentative image or two with my pals over on the mailing list only to find them definitely 'meh' about the ideas. But this one really does the job - it's got impact, vavavoom and lipstick bullet following kabamm - in my humble opinion.
The image file (1600x2500 resolution both for Kindle and Smashwords, people) is ready to upload, as is the full Createspace cover. I have yet to finalise the .prc format text file for Kindle, the .docx file for Smashwords (all Meatginder-ready) and the Createspace text file. That's today's job.
And then tomorrow I'll be pushing various buttons at the 'How to self-publish a book' workshop at the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature's spiritual and temporal home, the lovely and tranquil barjeel-laden Dar Al Adab tomorrow. The Hunna ladies group of writers will be gathered to watch in puzzlement as I wrestle with the various feersum endjinns involved in actually making a book happen in this brave new eworld of ours.
And then, gradually, pixels will pixellate. It's all quite exciting, really...
Good luck with the "pushing buttons" event tomorrow, have you considered running live sessions via G+ hangouts/Youtube?
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea, but I've simply run out of time/. I'm pedaling as fast as I can just to get this stuff done for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOh tempus, tempus fugit!!!
