    Oh, very cool topic! I definitely approve that. :) What sort of images would you have?

    Dorothy Zemach, Thank you for the approval : ) This is a passion of mine and I worked hard on developing the process! I really wanted your opinion or suggestions for images. I use a lot of color in my Powerpoint but few images. I am not sure if a paperback with colorful images is a better publishing idea.

    Debbie Kellermann Is it posted in the Works in Progress? I'm not seeing it...

    Debbie Kellermann Ah, OK, I found the powerpoint, in this section... sorry I missed it earlier! I was looking for stuff in the Works in Progress section.

    You can have color in an ebook, but color in a paperback would be much more expensive. It's not impossible... just expensive for buyers.

    Can you format your ppt as a doc so people can comment on it? I presume too that a lot of those bullet points represent things that you discuss when you give the ppt, so would be fleshed out in a book. It's a little hard for me to guess how long a book based on that would be, but you might want to consider doing just a few units or chapters for this course, instead of the whole thing--that way you'll learn the process, and can apply it to the rest of the book later.

    Remember too that things like your chart will have to be imported as images.

    Dorothy Zemach, Thank you for the input. I will start working on the text today. I am going to start working on images and send some to you. I will have my daughter (who is an awesome artist) work on the front cover design and back cover design.

    Debbie Kellermann We'll start with just an ebook, so you only need a cover for that. You couldn't start a paperback cover until the final text was done anyway, because you'd need a total page count. We'll do ebooks first, and then some people might add on paperback versions, but once your ebook is done, that will be easier.

    There are several templates on Canva that you can add a photo to, so if your daughter draws something, you could import that the same way. Handy to have an artist in the family!

Hello everyone!

Hello everyone! Here are my cover samples. You can vote for the upper part and the lower part separately - I can combine the top of one sample with the bottom of another one. Also, notice the use of hashtags on the cover - what do you think? And one more thing - do you prefer capital letter(s) or lowercase in "stray stories" (which is the title of the whole series). First letter capital, all capitals, all lowercase? Thank you!

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!

Thank you for all your comments on my first cover samples.

Thank you for all your comments on my first cover samples. I've taken your suggestions into consideration and here is round #2 :) I've played with fonts, letter colors, hashtags/no hashtags (no hashtags on most covers), header (stray stories) with first letters capitals / all capitals / no capitals (I don't really like Stray Stories with two capital letters S because of the bad connotation. For the same reason, for example, I don't like to refer to students as SS...), various options with my and my daughter's names. What do you think now? P.S. Enjoy the live session, guys! I wish I could join you, but 6 a.m. (Greek time) is really too difficult for me...
