Yesterday, I received a layout from 100 covers (found them in the ALK). At first, I said no. But it is growing on me. I have attached a png of both. One thing they did not do was to add the spine info on both the front and back sides because a staple binding for a thin book (58 pages) is much cheaper and this info does not fit well on a perfect bound paperback. A hardcover spine for libraries is wide enough. Their layout does not accommodate this information but could be adjusted for this. So, what do you think? Artsy and not informative or informative but not artsy? Note: honest is much more helpful than nice. Thanks.

I never really spent much time creating videos. Tried a few times but never went far. My better option was podcast. I had over 50 episodes with over 6k downloads. Small numbers for some, but to me, is great. I also know that my show has been downloaded in over 100 different countries!!! I just recently discovered a platform where I can video record and edit my shows while doing my podcast. Now, I am leveraging YouTube too. I am sure @Julie Broad will be proud of me...haha Here's my first episode with video. Please let me know your thoughts so I can elevate this up a notch. Cheers, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GY583586

If you have a website and listed your book on it, can you share it here? I want to see how you offer / direct people to buy it. My book is getting ready for pre-launch and pre-orders. I want to learn where should I send them. One link? Multiple links?

In connection to AI and writing, I saw this article in the Wall Street Journal. I’m not sure the link will work, but if you’re serious about writing, try to find a way to read it. https://www.wsj.com/opinion/ai-and-the-english-language-274f9801?st=wEBPKo
