OK

The Hardcover Grandparents book passed the validation process and now it’s in “Title Setup.” simple smile Phew! Yay!

Now I have to do research where we are going to print our Kickstarter sticker for sure.

Great news!

Yeah! I think I found a local Chattanooga place that makes great quality stickers and uses a nice order form and website. http://www.godecals.net/about-us

Wonderful!

Yay!

I finished filing for the fictitious name, Wholesome Press, under Tomokane White LLC with the state of Florida. Confirmation #: 300274405173

Great job! Thank you!

My pleasure.

Today I 1.) reviewed the proof for the Hardcover Grandparents book, 2.) approved it, and 3.) ordered the proof copy of the Hardcover Grandparents book from Ingram Spark ($20.87 total)

I made the Facebook banner today for Wholesome Press today. I exported it to 350ppi and reduced the file size down to at least 2mb. I used the same Saipan sunset photo we uploaded for the Wholesome Press website last night.

I also uploaded photos to our Wholesome Press Twitter account. I used the same ones for our FB page. It was nice and easy to be able to apply the same avatar and banner/header.

I am done uploading both newly-updated Hardcover and Softcover files for the Mommy Daddy book that includes the correction to the painting with the girl previously in the gutter.

Also I finished four sketches yesterday for the Up,Up,Up book which makes Pages 1-8 complete. simple smile

Thank you!

I’ve done a lot to the Homepage of our website as well as the FB page.

I just sent some emails to some friends with the following: (Subject: Can I ask for 1 minute of your time?) (Body: Hi _! It would mean so much to me if you could fill out our quick "checkbox" form. It's located on the bottom of the Homepage at www.Wholesome.Press Thank you!Franicia

I sent emails to: Noreen, Lisa King, Julie Woodyard, Bonnie (Shivon), Ellen, Franchesca, Carolyn Mayer, Jana O’ Quin

Yay! After working hard this past week especially most of today and yesterday I finally finished pretty much all the drawings for the Up, Up, Up children's book!

I believe I diligently drew the illustrations for the last 7 out of 13 stanzas for the book today. In the last illustration I'm going to try to combine what I have of the boy along with some of the previous drawings applied to work. If I have to I may include extra sketches if it doesn't look right. I also think I would like to color the front cover image which is of the Mommy in the kitchen getting asked how to help by the young boy.

Looking back at the screenshots, I did choose market access for the softcover. I think it was because I was approving it too and decided to enter it into the channels. I’m not sure if my brain was thinking hardcover at the time.

Also I’m still waiting to hear from you (I think) whether you’ve figured out if we published the Kindle Grandparents book under my author account or our former publishing company. simple smile

This is the link that I’m using as a guide in order to upload a final book cover for the Mommy Daddy book on Amazon. It says once it is added and approved it can no longer be changed.

Thank you for telling me that you are waiting for me. I think that you'd be able to figure that out easier than I could right now unless you want to wait for me to get home to research that.

Regarding the cover, does that mean that IngramSpark messed up and didn't upload the cover properly?
