Nose to the grindstone with Tailored Truths!

Hello! 

Covers and Reviews!

Covers

It's been a very busy couple of weeks! I've been preparing files to publish the paperback version of Tailored Truths on KDP Amazon, and on Ingram Spark. This should, by now, be a simple process having done it for my other eleven books but, since I've not published since April/May 2024, I've had to spend time relearning techniques. The upload processes for the interior file (the story) and the cover file seems to be different every time I try it. It has meant poring over publishing guidelines to ensure any new publisher changes are met.

I've never made a wrap around cover for a paperback before so that was a huge learning curve! Who knew that my Paint Shop Pro Ultimate 2023 program could add rulers and guides to help position the spine details? I didn't, but now I can do it vertically - the horizontal ones have still to be perfected! And now preparing an image size at the outset should be easier - providing I remember how to do that! 

I'm hopeful now that the files I've produced, which have been finally accepted by Amazon and Ingram Spark for processing, will make perfect copies! Once I approve the digital copies of the IS paperbacks (KDP ones already approved) I'll still be waiting for physical proof copies to arrive by post,. I'll be a lot happier if they are perfect because it'll then be a 'Press the publish the novel' button.  Delivery of 'snail' mail can be a slow process nowadays, depending on the courier. If Royal Mail, then it's definitely slow! 

I'm hoping the paperback will be available to order by the end of August, a short time before the launch of the eBook on the 12th September 2025. Details to follow!
