Publishing on Amazon’s Kindle: Creating the eBook

Children, Drama, Horror, Notes, Writing, Young AdultBy LeeNovember 17, 2015Leave a comment

I self-published my first book “Noah’s Noodles” on Amazon’s Kindle platform. I describe the book here. The process getting to that point was relatively smooth, but also had its share of bumps.

Cover Tag Lines: Yes or No?

Drama, Notes, Writing, Young AdultBy LeeNovember 7, 2015Leave a comment

After completing the cover in Photoshop, I started doing a lot of thinking and research on tag lines for novel covers, and have come to the conclusion that I need one.

Tied mockup heads to Photoshop

I was pleased with the mockup, so I bought the images I needed, and digitally combined them in Adobe Photoshop.

Tied cover mockup

Going from the sketch from yesterday, I went on a quest to find stock imagery. The proper, and only, way to do this is to pay for it. My sources of choice are iStockPhoto and Shutterstock.

Tied cover takes shape

As I wrote the first draft of Tied, in the back of mind, a picture of the cover formed. By the time I was done the first draft, I had been “living” in my story for 8 months and the image of the cover was always there.

When the manuscript was off with my editor, I used that time to begin researching cover ideas. 

And so it begins!

I’ve created and designed a lot of books during my lifetime, all for other authors, using their content and their designs. This is the first book I wrote and illustrated (and later self-published) to celebrate my son’s second birthday.
