Thursday Food Allergy Book Update!

bigstock-Red-book-800806Busy week again! Working on book trailer. Most of book is with the graphic designer.  Putting finishing touches on reference layout and index.  Hoping to have it done next week to upload for first proof!!  Don’t think I’ll make Food Allergy Awareness Week but I hope to have the book published this month.

Thursday Food Allergy Book Update!

bigstock-Library-1892249Another productive week! Got the ISBNs for paperback and audiobook. I plan to have a Kindle version as well. Emailed half of the book to the graphic artist to start the interior layout. Hope to get the other half to her next week. Once the whole manuscript is completed, we will proofread again and send off for the official proof. I can’t wait to see that box on my doorstep!! Note to self – follow up with the videographer to complete the book trailer.

Donna

 P.S. Should I have a hardcover and paperback or just paperback? Thanks.

Thursday Food Allergy Book Update!

Productive week! Received manuscript from the book editor/proofreader. In process of addressing her suggestions. Good for a “fresh” pair of eyes to take a look since ours are just about crossed at this point! As soon as we complete the changes, I will give the manuscript to the graphic artist so that she can create the interior layout! Then of course, more proofing…

bigstock-Red-book-800806Have you ever felt like you were taking one step forward and two steps backward?  It’s been one of those weeks.  I’m so happy that the editor/proofreader is reviewing the book.  Unfortunately, there’s still a lot to do!  Need to finalize the text and get LCCN.  So much to do in a few weeks.  Not sure the book will be ready mid May, but I’m still trying!  Will keep you updated…

bigstock-Red-book-800806This week seemed to go really quickly!  Finalized the interior layout and trying to finish the back cover design. Need to complete the video trailer. Question – What do you think is a good length? Less than 1 minute, 1 minute, 2 minutes or 3 minutes? Thanks!

My Upcoming Food Allergy Book!

Stepping out in faith! As many of you know, I have been writing a food allergy book for several years, and this is the year! I’m putting it out there that my target publishing date is in May during Food Allergy Awareness Week. My friend and I are working hard to complete the book which is intended to educate, raise awareness and provide support for individuals and families living with FA and for their wider Food Allergy Circles (schools, caregivers, etc.). I’m excited to report that a draft of my book is currently being reviewed by two well-respected allergists in my community. Lots to do! Stay tuned for updates.
