I was able to go to the next step in self-publishing my first book. Two weeks ago I formatted the paperback version of my book Gratitude: A Trio of Stories and then sent it off. The book came back looking quite nice as you can see in the photo, but I didn't understand about the sizing, and so my book came out about the size of a coloring book, 11 inches by 8 and a half.

I was pleased and excited with my first attempt, but my happiness was not complete since I thought the book would be the size of a trade paperback. Not one to give up easily, and before I drowned my self in editing and proofreading my next book, I decided to try to resize Gratitude smaller. I did the alteration last Sunday afternoon, and once again sent off for another copy of my book.
