SQUEE! I’m celebrating my Birthday with Bubbles and promises of what 2012 will bring!
Yesterday I presented myself with the most PERFECT birthday gift imaginable. I registered my unique Book Publishing business name at the Office of Fair Trading, Brisbane. I can’t stop staring at the official certificate issued and dated with 19.01.2012, my birthday! Next I registered my sole trader name online as a domain to secure it on the world wide web. From now on I’m the proud owner of publishing imprint, Digital Future Press. Sounds professional, doesn’t it?
It’s really happening! … Another step closer to launching my gutsy true life story … ME AND HER: a Memoir of Madness in May, 2012 … ME AND HER: a Memoir of Madness reveals how parents repeatedly harassed a teacher, to breaking point and Beyond … and how I clawed my way back from Insanity.
What Stage is ME AND HER up to Now?
1. Sally Odgers, renowned author and editor, professionally edited, assessed, reviewed and proof read my manuscript, ready for publishing.
2. ME AND HER will be professionally type-set and formatted for eBooks and print books very soon.
3. I’m gathering the most compelling book reviews blurbs to be printed on ME AND HER opening page and on my book’s back cover. Check out round #1 of my book reviews so far … http://karentyrrell.com/?page_id=22 Adding more reviews soon. Please stay tuned.
4. As a registered publisher, so many new opportunities will open up to me. I have complete CONTROL over the publishing of ME AND HER … I can now purchase my own ISBNs (book barcodes). Please stay tuned for more updates !!
Thanks Anthony Puttee of Book Cover Cafe www.BookCoverCafe.com …
for guiding me through the first VIP steps of REAL self publishing … Can’t wait to set eyes on ME AND HER‘s book cover that Anthony will be designing soon.
Please stay tuned … I’ll be blogging about the next eXciting steps on my journey to REAL self publishing.
A Birthday Thanks …
Last night I returned home from my celebrations with your warm birthday wishes flooding my Facebook pages and emails. You overwhelmed me with your kind good luck wishes for my writing and publishing success … A sincere thank you 🙂
Congratulations on getting your business name registered. That is awesome.
Zoe
Thanks Zoe. Having that registered certificate in my hot little hand offers me to many unbelievable opportunities in the Future.
That is awesome news Karen! Make sure you buy a block of 10 ISBN numbers so you have got 9 spare that can be allocated to any future books! (doesnt cost too much more than 1 ISBN) This is just the beginning for you!
Thanks Nicky for your awesome enthusiasm, support and advice. Yes I’ll definitely be buying them in a Block of 10 🙂
YAY!!! Another step in the right direction. I am really so excited and happy with all the postive progress you are making along the way Karen. You certainly have an excellent action plan in place. Well done for achieving yet another important milestone for publishing “Me and Her”.
Thanks Art, for your awesome support. Yes, I’ve been very lucky to receive advice and guidance from Anthony, to give ME AND HER, the Greatest chance.
KT – publishing guru!
Type-set… not type-setted… Typo, no doubt 😉
BUT GR8 news, Karen!!! Go, go, go!!!
Thanks Steph, I kinda like that name tag. LOL 🙂
Thanks Alistair, Typo now fixed … many thanks :).
and thanks for your awesome support and encouragement !
Well, what can I say? Congratulations to THE most inspiring, hard working go-getter that I know. All your efforts are paying off, and you so deserve it, Karen 🙂
Thanks so much Carol, your words of support mean so much to me. I believe in ME AND HER’s message of hope. And I’m determined to get my memoir out there … another day closer to the launch 🙂
Once again, well done to you Karen in your next exciting venture of becoming a published author in your own right. Your guts and determination to get your book published has certianly given me, if not other authors, the inspriation to keep going forward with our own dream to eventually become published… You Go Girl 🙂
Thanks Heather. My decision to follow this pathway is ALL do with the Readers demand of wanting to read my book NOW. And this independent pathway giving me complete control … Good luck with your journey to Publishing! 🙂
What a memorable day! Better still? You won’t forget the renewal anniversary and let it lapse! LOL.
Each step is so exciting and you make it so, Karen – and I applaud you for that and for spreading so much positive joy.
Thanks so much Kerri, for your personal email of congratulations and this very supportive comment. You’re right about the renewal notice will never relapse. LOL. Sending BIG hugs to you xx
Well done Karen- that is very proactive indeed! And what a great birthday present.
Hi Karen,
You’re on the way.
I am curious though, why create a publishing imprint?
Graham.
Thanks so much Lorraine! I feel very proud of myself for initiating this on my birthday. With a registered certficate to prove it.
Thanks Graham for all your awesome support. Why did I create my own imprint? For a start it reduces the stigma of self-publishing and increases the credibility of my memoir. Plus there’s other advantages too … including “owning” my own ISBDN’s.
Wow! I look forward to seeing your cover – sooooo exciting!
Thanks Judi for sharing my excitement. I can’t wait to see the Cover too 🙂
