Interior layout; Lesson 16
 
Hello, and welcome. I am glad you are back. I hope you enjoyed your week. If this is your first time, at your own leisure, pick through what we have already gone over. Every lesson is on my website for your convenience. Today I have only my opinion, like always, on how to layout a great looking book. These finds are from years of observation

 Book Cover; Lesson 15
 Welcome back to writing class 101. I hope your time was well spent working on your book and you’re ready for a little more information. Today I want to talk about a book cover, the front, the back, and the spine.

 Authors worst Enemy; Lesson 14 (this is a rant)
 Everyone has a story to tell, but who will read it is the question. Just on Amazon alone in the United States, there are over 7 million books and growing, or rotating with 15,000 new books per year, or is it per month. Even some name-brand, New York bestsellers, famous authors are ranked at 65,000 in a pile of millions. How do we, English dropouts, even think that we can compete or be seen?

 ISBN; Lesson 13
 Another week has come and gone. Thank you for coming back to class. I know your time is precious, so let me get right into it. ISBN; a number placed on your book so a person can find it, and so a register can scan and ring up the price. I have heard that when using a vanity publisher where you paid them, they will set a price and buy the ISBN for you. Each book needs one for each type. For example; you need one for a paperback, one for a hardcover, one for an ebook, and one for an audiobook. That’s four different ISBNs that I know of. Four different numbers, because they are all priced different.

Copyright. Lesson 12
 Welcome back. And so, how was your weekend? Eventful, I hope. With this health scare, I hope you have had time to pursue your passion, like I have.

 
Editors; Lesson 11
 
Welcome back to another class and Happy St. Patrick’s Day. I hope your week ventured far and beyond your expectations, and today will bring you good luck. Today, you are ready. Hopefully you have had great feedback from everyone, family, friends, beta readers, and all your corrections have been made

 Editing and editors; Lesson 10
 Salutations, dear friends. I hope it has been a wonderful week for you. Hopefully you have gathered your thoughts and completed your book. Congratulations! You have finished step one with ump-teen more to go. I said we would talk about editing and editors, and this we will.

Writing style, Lesson 9
 Good day to all. My week ran like clock-work. I hope yours did too. Now that I had you tear your book apart, and you are only halfway through, I want to talk about style. Being a beginner in the author biz, many write in first person and passive, telling a story. This is easy, but it goes nowhere.

Writing style, sentence structure, and wording Lesson 8
 Welcome back to another great class. I hope your week was filled with great inspiration. Now that you are on your way into writing your book, take a break and read through for mistakes. While you’re doing that, make sure that all your sentences flow.
