"Jefferson’s Masterpiece" Progresses to Layout and Design Stage

The appendix for Jefferson’s Masterpiece has been edited and is now ready.

I am still trying to find a descriptive title for the appendix. I have one that was suggested to me that is promising. However, I am still open to other ideas, but I must decide soon.

My primary objective last week was to write the text that will be printed on the back cover. Prior to the time I began to write, I did not have any ideas what to say or know what direction I was going to take. Writing a few hundred words that describes the story in a way that will entice shoppers to purchase the book is very challenging. To my surprise, I was able to write the copy in the first sitting. Although I am pleased that I got off a good start, I will continue to edit the copy until I am satisfied that it is the best I can make it. Hopefully, those words will convince book shoppers to purchase Jefferson’s Masterpiece.

Beverly is making good progress on designing the overall layout and the chapter title pages. I will continue to work on the back cover text and write the acknowledgement and dedication pages.

I also need to begin thinking about updating the Nick & Sadie website in preparation for Christmas sales.

I appreciate your continued interest in Jefferson’s Masterpiece,

Dennis
