A Self-Publishing Story: Epilogue

We did it you guys! I got my proof from Ingram Spark, found it was only marginally better than the KDP version, wondered who in the publishing elite is guarding the reams of glossy paper with a pointy stick, and clicked to launch Little Time into the real world.

I am very sorry that it is on non-glossy paper. I wanted that sheen for us. And while I think it’s possible to get it, the cost of printing at that paper specification would mean the print cost of the book would be beyond what anybody would pay for it.

Raising my little book baby up has been rather like my parenting journey: beginning clueless with Big Ideas and Values, and ending up wiser, tired, and willing to take whatever imperfect path moves us forward.

I hope some people find it, and find it useful. I would have.
