El Sueño de Gina/Gina's Dream, a Dual Book in Spanish and English is now available at The Write Place in Print and eBook formats.
I am exhausted. If I ever have enough money or make enough money, I would love to hire someone else to market my book. Marketing is exhausting.
I published with The Write Place, a small publishing house. It was a pleasant experience and I was glad for the formatting help.
All I can say is for the last four years of learning about fiction writing, editing, publishing, marketing and more has been an education.
I enjoyed the whole experience, even the frustrating parts. I also gained a greater appreciation for all the aspects of publishing. I got lucky, I worked with a great book cover graphic artist; had some interesting adventures trying to find an editor; got lucky again and found a wonderful translator; battled with countless software programs and then got lucky again working with a small publishing house. TWP staff were very supportive.
Major lesson learned: I will not make a living writing fiction because I am a slow writer. But, surprisingly I had alot of fun writing a cookbook, so much so, I hope to publish another one. But, I won't make a living writing cookbooks because I can't cook. So, I will continue to explore other writing venues and still have fun writing my fiction stories for myself.
