Getting Comfortable with the Proof Copy

I am over my baby gone syndrome. It only took about two to three days. Then I received my proof copy. For some reason it really looks different in book form in my hand than it did in the pdf form.

After talking it over with my husband, I decided to pay for revisions so I could add the registered trademark sign to a name in my book. While adding this symbol I learned I had spelled that name wrong. Some of the words in the name needed to be capitalized. There were other… Continue

Does it Always Feel This Way?

It is out of my hands. It's gone! I feel as though I have lost my best friend: a loved one. There is an emptiness, not only in my daily activities, but in my heart as well. A huge hole is left behind. There are many things to fill it. I don't know where to start. Nothing seems right.

Publishing Logo Question

My husband is a terrific artist (for everyone else but me). He graduated from the Chicago School of Art back in the 1960's. I think that is the one he graduated from. Anyway, I have been trying for 2 years to get him to do the logo for my publishing company. I have drawings/doodles all over the house on pieces of paper that he has done, but none of them a logo.

My question is: Is it necessary to have a logo of the publishing company on or in the book or is just the company name and… Continue
