Anyone have thoughts on the size and my options with blurb? If you want to see the stuff they've been putting out, visit them. I do need to revisit the software and see the layout I can do for the 10x13 book. It may work out well, I've just been working in the standard mode.

Are you working with the portrait style of landscape style on the 8 x 10? Just curious.

I would say that you only need to offer TWO options: the 8 x 10 PB and the 10 x 13 HC.

Portrait is what I started with, I was assuming I would leave it that way. The 10x13 is landscape only, which is okay with me.

Very good suggestion KB!

Last week a friend who runs a bookstore in town, reminded me he had not provided me with a contact at a University Press he knows. They put out some nice film-related books. He insisted I use his name and that I do contact the editor, regardless of any outcome. So, I bit the bullet and did last Friday. Today,I received a very nice response that included a request for my book proposal! In the immortal words of BtD, squeeeeeeeeee!

I know the power of LoT, send a little swanky magic in my direction!

You got it - coming your way!!

That magic of LoT has taken me to the next step!

They're running numbers (like how much this might cost) which may well kill it, however, it is going to be presented to the Board mucky mucks as something they should do! A viable, real, honest to goodness book! Criky!

Keep those good vibes coming my way, they asked for more information from me and we'll see how this all plays out.

Regardless of whether or not this goes any further, I'm finding even the hint of interest to be quite a boost and pretty darned exciting. Year of a Million Dreams, I think so!

LSPoorEeyorick · 10-11-2007, 07:03 PM

Send all the magic I've got in your direction!

YAAAY!
