Working with a Small Budget. Best Tips & Tools to Use?
Hey everyone. I've been lurking for a few months. I watched most everything I have access to and am looking for any advice or recommendations on formatting my book. I am using Reedsy, and I see limitations with it. Just realized I will need more than it can offer. I am self-publishing on a small budget. What are your recommendations?

@Rob Cole Rob please keep us updated on this software. I use Designer mostly because I already have it. It lets me import PDF saved Word docs and does a good job, but it does have a mind of its own that I get tired of fighting. Someday when I grow up I will learn how to use all the expensive stuff that comes with my Adobe package, but I have not spent the time and dedication to learn that yet.
Off to the Editor!!!!
Hey guys, I finally sent my draft to my editor!!! The question is what should I do next??

When I started working with my first editor it was in a textbook I wrote for the school I was the education coordinator. Right off the bat it was a little uncomfortable even a bit uneasy as she and I felt each other out and built trust and understanding. It's the understanding of what each other that will be the biggest difference. What I suggest is the first time you truly interact with one another it's not on the text itself, but on something like the outline so that "feel out" phase is not on the text, I think things will be much easier and smoother after that.
Finally Book page + book cover together 🎉
It took a while until I was able to fine tuning in a way I was pleased about it. If you are curious, please check it out. I totally get it that it may not please everyone. Actually. I know that lol. Life is about choices and I have learned a long time ago that trying to please everyone unpleased me. So as long that I am happy, people with similar interests will find me. Cheers 🍻 https://www.rogermagalhaes.com/book/nobody-told-me-that/

I really like the webpage, keeps my attention and is laid out to make me want to keep reading. The pictures of your journey really tell the story the text is laying out.
Update to My FB suspension - I am Back Baby!
Well, well, well...after 6 days for what they say should be a one day review, my FB suspension has been lifted. Here is what they said: Hi Kevin, Thank you for taking the time to request a review. We reviewed your account, and saw that activity on it does follow our Community Standards, so you can use Facebook again. We're sorry that you weren't able to use Facebook for a while. Sometimes we need to take action to help keep everyone on Facebook safe. You can learn more about why we disable accounts by visiting our Community Standards. The more interesting part is that no matter how many times I click on their link for community standards - it just spins and spins and has not opened after 10 minutes of spinning. Additionally I find it kind of ironic that it spins and spins and their link starts with: transparency.meta.com/policy... Some transparency when you can't get to the website! I also like their comment about - Sometimes we need to take action to keep everyone on Facebook safe...you mean you do not do that all the time- only sometimes??? Well good news is I had a 6 day break, and now I have many notifications to go through! A brief poem to commemorate this auspicious occasion: Six days adrift on a digital sea, No message in bottle explaining to me. No compass, no chart, no hint of a crime Just “Wait here,” they said for an undefined time. Then this morning a note, both simple and terse: “You’re fine now,” they said - no better, no worse. So back I return - no wiser within, Just happy to be able to log back in again! I wish you all the best.

I said something once and was booted or suspended, no idea what it was, probably something about Covid. So now I use a new one and feel fine, soon I will break another rule and get pounded again.
Need feedback on potential covers!
I got some great comments on my first set of potential covers. I would love another round of feedback from anyone who is willing. Thanks in advance! Call them out as #1 - #5 - pick the one or ones you like best.
