Proofing done!
iUniverse sent me PDF files for the paperback cover, the hardcover, and the book block (the internals). They looked very good. I was impressed with how they styled my chapter titles and harmonized the spine and back cover with the front cover. They made one small change to the front cover — my name is now in dark blue instead of black. Much nicer.
Now, I just need to finish off the marketing plan. The pressure is off though because I’m hiring a publicist to promote the book for me. For 3 months anyway.
