Making an imprint

In the next day or so I should have the cover art for In The Land Of The Penny Gnomes finalized. I’m working through fiverr for the artwork and I’m very pleased with the results 1.

I have the book laid out to send up to Kindle Direct Publishing, the story comes to 284 pages which is pretty cool. The eBook has a few finishing touches left to add, but that edition will also be ready soon. Once I add those touches and receive the final revision to the cover, all I’ll need to do is get my ISBN’s before I send it up to KDP and order my draft copies! This is a life-long dream, it’s quite exciting to be near the last steps.

I’ve also created my imprint for my published works, based on the branding of this blog. Check it out.

Painfully Hopeful Press
Created in Affinity Photo. I love the Affinity line of products!

Now I just need to figure out how to market the thing.

      I canโ€™t market myself worth beans. Itโ€™s one reason while Iโ€™ll never be โ€œsuccessful.โ€

      And I still don’t get Mailchimp.
