What an experience!

After many months of deciding the route i wanted to take to publish my work, i decided to self publish. I sourced many companies for information, finally finding a publisher i felt was right.

Last week i was so grateful to be offered an opportunity to attend a Self Publishing Experience Day. I would recommend this to anyone to has an interest in books, an interest to publish, or even for the published who have not had involvement to see what happens behind the scenes.

Information was given from the long awaited completed manuscript, to advice with editing services, to copy typing leading to the final result... a book.

The day was amazing and i don't think i will ever look at a book in the same way again!

From being shown suitable paper types, setting up the printing machinery for the book pages, the cover pages, the spines of the book, and how these were so cleverly crafted together to make one amazing book.

A Wonderful Experience... I shall never forget!

  1. Sounds like a very informative day, a lot more goes into finalising a book than lots of people imagine, sounds like this was the ideal way to find out more. Glad to hear you enjoyed it x
