Hello everyone. As I am down the rabbit hole of trying to self publish. I have run into an additional problem. I had already submitted my book to US Copyright office with my old title. Its currently in the processing status. Does anyone know how I can change this since I have redone the title using the guidelines of this site? Is there a way to change it in process? Thanks.

I kept pushing my book everywhere with almost no results, until I stopped, refocused, and figured out who I was actually talking to. Once I dialed in the right audience, everything started moving again. If you’re feeling stuck, sometimes it’s not the effort, it’s the aim. Happy to share more if it helps.

Am I crazy? I've always used Vellum for layouts, but I want a design that is more complicated than the software can handle. I'm looking at getting someone to do it professionally, but I prefer to keep control of the text so I can make adjustments in the future without having to go back to the designer. So I am playing around with MS-Word. I took a really fast attempt at it and this is what I got. It would need fine-tuning. But before I spend more time on this, I wanted to make sure I'm not going down a path that I might regret. Thoughts? Thanks!

We, my son Troy is the author, I am a contributor, we just completed content editing. We were so nervous going into it. We were elated when it was returned. Great insight, pleasant nurturing feedback, and lots of helpful tips. No chapters needed moving. Writing weakness were identified and suggestions offered. We cannot wait to implement their suggestions. I hope if you are approaching content editing you can replace fear with wonder.

Thank you for being here, sharing, and growing with us! We are working on some fun and valuable additions ... we can't wait to share them with you in December. In the meantime ... if you are in the US, I do hope you enjoy the holiday. Please note: the Book Launchers team is on light staffing until December 1st.
