Homework 2

Homework 2

Hi all. Just wanted to share my work in progress and a first shot at an ePub:

The link for the content is here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kNZf0vGBqxKHHGONQ3lz3KBb9v3U3KmwZUnMFZaOpJg/edit?usp=sharing

two potential covers:

1)

2)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qPEdNWMwKoLMS1R6B4fc3dzDuF6QvN3g/view?usp=sharing

And the link for the pub document with a first stab at a cover is here

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AFHXgokn3ldaypoHZhNY7fsAfzVyI2xR/view?usp=sharing

The epub file needs to be downloaded and opened in an e-reader program to be read. Thanks for your feedback in advance

    Thanks! Can you set the permissions for the doc so that people can comment? At the moment it's view only.

    Nice cover. I definitely have suggestions, though... can you post just the cover as a separate post?

    It’s set for comments now.
    First off, good for you for getting the book going! I really enjoyed parts of the stories (haven’t read it all, admittedly) and I love how your introduction is so personalised. The theory comes across as so much less rigid that way.

    Hi Kevin,

    This is a very interesting topic and reading method presented in your ebook and is also very related to my own topic. I agree with Katie that congratulations are in order for actually publishing the first draft of your ebook. Because of these reasons, I was very interested in reading your ebook. I have not finished reading the entire book yet; however, I noticed a couple of things which are just a repeat of things that Dorothy said to us in our 3rd classroom session. First, your chapter titles are much larger sized than the 18 sized font that Dorothy recommended. Additionally, you have large blocks of text which need to be broken up by using more paragraph breaks, subtitles, picture or photos, and some words colored font. I am revising my own ebook text to include all those suggestions from Dorothy.
    I hope to have my first draft published by Saturday. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions about my ebook.

    Kevin - how did you get it into an ePub? What did you use?

    Kate Cory-Wright I use a Mac and Pages software. There is a "save as epub" option. So after formatting it, I saved it as an epub.

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
