Cali The Carny Checklist

Things to do before I publish, I need to finish the copyright for my books. I need to secure my Web page domain as www.CaliTheCarny.com. I need to send a copy of my 1st book off to my book mentor to be edited. I have already completed a collaboration agreement and hired an illustrator. Waiting for rough drafts of sketches. I'm deciding whether I should go through Lulu or createspace to publish my books and leaning more towards createspace. The illustrator and I have set a deadline for the rough copy of Cali The Carny to be later the summer of 2018. I have sent pictures of the character sketches I have drawn for Cali The Carny, and I have done character descriptions. I have also done family relations and ties, so that I can better understand how the family of the book series is related. I have looked into writing "about me's" but I'm having a difficult time writing about the author, I'm having a difficult time coming to terms with the fact that I am an author. I am trying to decide if I should start a kickstarter campaign because I'm learning all about social media and trying to utilize all platforms of social media for marketing. I for one suck at social media because I suck at talking about myself and being vulnerable. I'm a 110% genuine, I just hate being vulnerable . Cali The Carny is about to take us on a wild ride in 2018 and I cannot wait. I have been writing these and working on this for far too long and with the determination that I have I know that 2018 we will succeed in publishing our first book. Together we will enjoy it, so enjoy the ride.
