File Formatting

Yes, the book was done a week ago, but the files have only been accepted today. I thought I knew all the specs, but there is much more to it than looking at a template. I had to export my files and resubmit them 4 times. Fourth time's a charm. Now they are 'correct'. I'm sure every printer is different, but if you want to make sure you are exporting the way they want/need, you should send them some test files. It will save you a lot of hassle and about a weeks worth of time/work. I'm just happy they are done.

Now it's the waiting game. Let the marketing begin. I just did my first interview and I think I nailed it. The clip is on the front page of my website http://www.fozzbooks.com and can also be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNDOhhND1V4.

I included some outtakes at the end to get a laugh out of you.

Cheers

Finally It's Done!

Wow. A year and a half has went by since I began writing my book. On July 8th, 2009 I finally finished it and sent it to the printer. I am patiently waiting for it to return so I can show the world my work and help people to Be Better!

This is a picture of what my living room looked like for a month. Papers everywhere. You don't even want to see what my office looked like. I thought we would be able to tackle the editing and layout in a week. Now I know that a book needs at least a month. The major work is done.

Now come the fun part, marketing!
