Hi everyone, just catching up with watching the recording of the first webinar session and I have a couple of questions/requests:

– I can't find the link to the sample book Dorothy mentions (50 Ways to Practice Writing). Probably being oblivious, but I have looked up and down the posts here. Can anyone help?
– I would be grateful for any extra resources to help get to grips with Styles in Word (I'm working using Word for Mac)

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give!

    Heike Philp Basically, you need to connect your kindle to your computer with its USB cable. Then you need to copy/paste or drag/drop the mobi file into the documents folder for the kindle. If you search for "How to transfer a mobi file to ... "(depending on which device you're transferring to) it's easy to find pages with instructions. Here's one: dummies.com - How to Transfer Files From Your Computer to Your Kindle Paperwhite - dummies

    Heike Philp Just checking... did you mean to move it to an actual Kindle device, or to open it on an Kindle program on your computer?

    Michael Harrison I'll add some YouTube links in a separate post for Word and styles. There's a little bit of a learning curve, but you will (probably!) come to love it.

    Heike Philp no worries! That’s why we make a recording. :)

    If you’re using an actual Kindle device, you can also email the file to your Kindle. Or did you mean you are using a Kindle app on your desktop or tablet or something?

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
