Book Publishing

Here is a letter that I recently sent out to a freind interested in publishing a book. 1. Get your manuscript together in either Word or Open Office. 2. Decide the size of book you want to produce. Fiction: 4.25" x 6.87", 5" x 8", 5.25" x 8", 5.5" x 8.5", 6" x 9" Novella: 5" x 8" Children's: 7.5" x 7.5", 7" x 10", 10" x 8" Textbooks: 6" x 9", 7" x 10", 8.5" x 11" Non-fiction: 5.5" x 8.5", 6" x 9", 7" x 10" Memoir: 5.25" x 8", 5.5" x 8.5" Photography: Whatever you see fit! If you change the size of the page in your word processor settings, you can see how many pages your book will be. 3. A book template will be helpful. You can download a template for your book size here. http://www.lulu.com/create/books#templates I can't remember if there are instructions w...

I commented that my wife and I had been taking Bear to the dog park since she was 8 weeks old, and that she loves being chased. Then I asked what I always ask, “How old is your puppy?” Everyone answers, but some give me more. “Oh, he/she is 8 (or older) years old.” They reply while giving me a look which says, “I have a full-grown dog.” Politely, I’d like to disagree. I think they have an old puppy. I base this on a few things I’ve observed. I had a friend who had a dog. This dog stayed outside most of the time, even while the people slept. On the odd occasions when the dog was allowed in the house, my friend would have problems with the dog’s behaviour towards him and his children. “Get rid of the dog...
