First from the view of a Book Cover & Interior Designer and the second from the view of a new Author.<BR/><BR/>I noticed myself falling back into the comfort of the first since this is known to me and the way I make a living. I found many interesting services for authors from printers to doll makers for children's books. I also came away with good information regarding what publishers are looking for to better inform my book design clients who use my services.<BR/><BR/>I attended on the last day of the show in the hopes of being a more welcomed conversation to the booth vendors.<BR/><BR/>And the second view as author being new and unknown brought several surprises. I eventually braved it up and asked at a few booths if they were taking submissions. Some were kind and discussed possibilities with me, seems they were interested in my topic...! This was a much warmer welcome than I received a few years ago when I only had a picture book to sell.<BR/><BR/>I'm now better prepared to move forward with this new knowledge to the benefit of my clients and personal writing.<BR/><BR/>Remember, keep doing something everyday toward your book and its promotion.<BR/><BR/>Kareen Ross<BR/>Your Book Cover & Interior Designer<BR/>http://www.BookCoverDesigner.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14401984.post-77882480173530425502008-06-16T04:17:00.000-07:002008-06-16T04:17:00.000-07:00Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I am going to place a link to this blog, as it would be of great value to many writers!<BR/><BR/>And I found my first Book Expo in 2006 a bit overwhelming, but will be better prepared next time!L.
