In the spring I reached an agreement with Westbow Press to self-publish my first book - "Hope Upon Hope - Encouraging Words When Your Life Needs a Lift."
Westbow has very specific instructions for self-publishing; I didn't know there would be so much detail - size of book, size of font, cover work, inside design and the list goes on and on.
First stop for the book is the Content Department; they will make sure that the material I've wrote is in keeping with their editorial guidelines. From there it will go to Design and when they have put together a mock up of the book, I'll get a chance to review and make sure I'm satisfied with what they've done. After that the book gets printed and the finished product will land on my doorstep. I must say, I can't wait to see how all this turns out.
Westbow has an online store from which the book can be purchased. There is a possibility that the book will be available on Amazon. I'll know more about distribution in a few months.
I thank the Lord for this opportunity and my dear, sweet wife for her belief that I should move forward with getting my book published. I'll keep you friendly readers posted on its progress.
