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
Oh, very cool topic! I definitely approve that. :) What sort of images would you have?
ReplyDeleteDorothy 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.
ReplyDeleteDebbie Kellermann Is it posted in the Works in Progress? I'm not seeing it...
ReplyDeleteDebbie 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.
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteDebbie 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.
ReplyDeleteThere 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!
