Hello Dorothy and Barbara, I had a few questions as I go back to work on adding my ebook and re-design my cover. First, how do we give credit & copyright permission for images we add to our cover and pages in our ebook? Also, how do we give credit for the research that our ebooks are based upon? The formatting guide said no footnotes were possible.

Thank you for your time!

    That kind of credit would go on the copyright page--there's an example in the slides that's kind of small, so I posted a larger image in the Discussion area. You could just add a line like
    Cover design by X. Cover image by Y.
    Interior illustrations by Z.

    For references, you can either do a separate page of references as backmatter (I think there's an example in the slides of that too), or do in-text references (X and Y, 1997). Footnotes in the traditional sense don't work because there isn't any way to keep them on the same page as what you're referencing.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Dorothy, is it okay if we copy the copyright permission word for word into our own ebook?

Hello everyone

Hello everyone, Almost everything has been finalised in my story. Only the info about the creators (Author and illustrator) is missing and I need to have a professional picture taken of me and my daughter, Evita (the illustrator), but I won't have the pic until mid November :(. Re the font type - I used Arial. Should I change to Times New Roman? I hope you can find a few minutes to write a comment on this almost-final draft of my story. I have a question: as you know Evita has done the illustrations, but the background was a bit greyish. I asked a graphic designer friend of mine to whiten the background for me and to do a few minor tweaks. I would like to ask her in the future to help me with the next books in the series, too. I like giving credit where the credit is due - where could I mention Stella's name? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1i1oWSFC_8YNVQq0o9OyIj0wYQMGjDlh1

Hi all! I'm happy to report that my health is much improved. Thank goodness! Ain't nobody got time for being ill.

Hi all! I'm happy to report that my health is much improved. Thank goodness! Ain't nobody got time for being ill. So ... where is everybody? I know I extended the deadlines out to the end of October for people on the accomplishment track and the end of November for those working towards the distinction certificate... let's see some finished projects! :) Could the distinction people email me theirs separately? Either a .mobi or an .epub is fine. zemach@comcast.net is probably best. For the others, why not post here, and we can all give some congratulations and feedback? (Distinction people welcome to post theirs here as well, of course!)

It´s me again! I got enthusiastic and did almost the whole book. There are two or three pictures missing.

It´s me again! I got enthusiastic and did almost the whole book. There are two or three pictures missing. I'd love to know your opinion about: *the whole thing, of course! *the two covers- do you like them? Which one most? *the font- is it clear? big enough? *the last page- is it clear that lights are off? *the line in the middle of some pages to separate different situations- any other idea? *the dialogues- is it clear enough who is talking? If Fluffy or his Mum? *any language mistake? Eager to read you all, especially Dorothy Zemach!!! https://www.canva.com/design/DADFcVJg0dg/OHGA7qnG3hQA_uO99vRWsw/view?utm_content=DADFcVJg0dg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton https://www.canva.com/design/DADFcVJg0dg/OHGA7qnG3hQA_uO99vRWsw/view?utm_content=DADFcVJg0dg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton
