Picking Up Where I Left Off

I’m back from my vacation. The break felt good, and it allowed me to think about the direction I want to take this blog. Thanks to those of you who gave me your feedback. It is greatly appreciated.

Starting Monday, I’m going to walk you through the process of publishing your book with Lulu. For the purposes of this exercise, I will download a file from the Gutenberg Project and use it as a practice book. If you want to follow me on that route, go to the Gutenberg site and download one of their ebooks. You’ll need to reformat the text to get rid of all the extra spaces and such. For that, I use Textspresso 3, which is great for cleaning up large documents. They have a 30-day trial, so you won’t have to pay for it unless you want it.
