I thought I'd give you the option ...Hey Mikki!<br /><br />I thought I'd give you the option I might want to take when I eventually start writing. My photography instructor, as part of a month long trip to London, required us to assemble a Blurb book at the end of the course. I'm going to use the same concept to create a beading book someday soon. I thought I'd share the info with you to reduce your stress. :-) Here is the link to the website:<br /><br />http://www.blurb.com/<br /><br />And the link to the project I did:<br /><br />http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1563809<br /><br />As far as I can tell, Blurb allows you to create your digital book and set the amount of profit you would like to receive. They take a base fee out of the price depending on size of book and type of paper. I hope this helps and gives you new ideas. I've also heard of similar sites, but don't know what they are.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Tamara AllisonVanishing Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634686005556883975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733868611654973524.post-23588428696400839452011-04-19T19:05:27.651-07:002011-04-19T19:05:27.651-07:00I used "Blurb" when I did mine.

I have a copy of mine on display and for sale at the art gallery along with my jewelry. <br />Not sure what your needs are bookwise - but check out Blurb if you care to - http://www.blurb.com<br />Peaceful beading,<br />Sheryl Stephens<br />Cool Moon Creationscoolmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07581326618275214554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733868611654973524.post-14799126422287166992011-04-14T13:39:33.995-07:002011-04-14T13:39:33.995-07:00Okay I don't understand all that you are going...Okay I don't understand all that you are going through but I have the date plastered on the refrigerator and will go on a stricter bead diet to insure I get it as soon as it is released. I think the CD is a great idea as long as it lets my computer print when I want it to. I know in the end you will feel so proud so stick it out just a bit longer K?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000223877502634308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733868611654973524.post-47153348866342779372011-04-14T10:17:38.618-07:002011-04-14T10:17:38.618-07:00I swear Jen....CD has the right idea....publish &#...I swear Jen....CD has the right idea....publish 'volume' patterns. Much easier, less stressful and the wait isn't so long. I may take CD's excellent advice and go the 'volume' pattern route :/Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939739757623364406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733868611654973524.post-17198123167555572572011-04-14T09:52:51.125-07:002011-04-14T09:52:51.125-07:00This post made me laugh out loud!

I'm definitely going the eBook route, though, selling it through my Etsy and/or ArtFire stores, with the possibility of a print on demand option. My sister has self-published her volumes of fiction and poetry for years, but I guess it's a little different with us crafter-writers: a lot more technical stuff to take into consideration. Keep at it, Mikki - I can't wait to see your book!VanBeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721173813057192461noreply@blogger.com
