Look what came in the mail today …
Looking good! (the shaded strip across the top is just there for this proofing copy)
Words, and everything
I need to give it the once-over and if nothing’s out of place it’ll go ‘live’ in a matter of hours, although Amazon does say it can take up to 72 hours to appear on their website.
Congratulations. 🙂

Getting that proof copy is such a joy, though I did prefer Createspace’s proof copies – no marking as such. Best wishes and lots of sales.

At least they didn’t mark any of the internal pages. 😀 … it looks pretty good, there’s a couple of things I’ll do differently next time, but I’m happy with it as is. 😀

Wonderful! I’m not sure now why I ordered a proof copy (they used to be free on Createspace?), but you can author copies for the same price.

Even after the dozenth time, there is that thrill of, ‘I’m a writer, and here is PROOF!’
One handles it with reverential love — until comes editing time and the ‘perfect, final edit’ turns out not to have been. Then there shall be cursing in the land.
