I am now starting to publish our fifth book, which will be titled, "One way, one truth, one life. This Friday will be my phone meeting with my author account manager to start the publishing process. I am covering every topic from how our words affect us for positive or for negative. Then I went into why there are so many doctrines even after the apostle Paul had urged the church to get along with each other. The doctrines of salvation, death, hell, heaven, communion and foot washing, membership, as well as the truth behind Covid-19, are covered in my book.
I remember my first author account manager, Susan Mayo, who helped me write my first book. I tried to write a book from the perspective of a fictional resident in a fictional nursing home. I realized most of those who read my book did not appreciate the message I was bringing to the average public. One of my family members called my book "trash," which really did make my blood boil. The disregard of the hard work which I put into writing this book was not really nice. It was hard to see my royalties measure 0 months after month, which really was very discouraging. I tried so hard to promote my book by doing a book reading at the library and on our local community channel, where I sat and read from my book. However, I saw my royalties range from 0 to a few copies, which was not helpful when paying for advertising the book.
It is tough to realize that I do have to spend a lot of money to promote my book because I cannot influence my society. This new project is so important to me because to launch my writing career into a place where we are earning enough money to advertise this book where people would actually buy my book in their favourite form.
This is why this rewrite is so important for my development in my writing career. I dream that someday we will be able to take the extra money and buy a house for us to own. However, royalties of 0 will not help us pay any bills. This is why I need to nail this in a market with so much competition around this world. Time will tell the story if this latest amount of money will be worth it or just another write-off on my taxes.
I am now continuing my blog on January 3 of 2022. There has been a lot which has happened from the last time I wrote until today. The manuscript has been edited and I have signed off on this new book's manuscript. There were two edits done to this book. There was a proofread and content edit. I had five people read this manuscript which they gave me some feedback from reading it.
I also purchased a back cover copyedit of this book so I will get the back of this book sounding as professional as possible. This was one of my errors which I did when I published the last four books. I did the back cover myself. I do need to have this book as appealing so that with my book return insurance policy when a possible buyer picks up this book in a bookstore, the likelihood of them buying it will be greatly increased.
I also purchased a half-page book review in the Friesenpress book catalogue which would give exposure to my new book to those who are looking for books to purchase.
This is where I am at in this process of publishing my fifth book. Mid-January is when the back cover should be ready for me to look at. I will keep all of you up to date as developments arise.
