@karen-robinson I have used Stitch Definition for photography, and I was very pleased with their work. Unfortunately they don't do crochet tech editing. But I will definitely ask about a photog/layout bundle. Thanks for the suggestion!

yes please a pdf of only worksheets! when tara's first book came out, i made my own worksheet-only pdf! 😉 (oops without publisher's ok, oh well, it was my copy)

If you are doing a text-heavy book, yes i'd look into also offering it as kindle (mobi) and epub. while i'm not highly versed on how to do that technically YET (i'm reading up on them),…[Read more]

thank you to everyone for the Ayrton love! I'm sorry if I haven't acknowledged everyone directly saying thank you. I am a bit overwhelmed with the love. Thank you! ♥

what's going well? I'm writing and sending this early, after E drove himself to the train (as is our habit, I don't want to be responsible for him missing the train), I drove o…[Read more]

Those gloves are beautiful! lots of extra good thoughts for Sunday! you can do this.

congrats @c-c-almon! i don't have a very large audience though by returning to consistent posting it's growing again I need to get caught up on book reviews, but I'd love to review it, would post it all over social media book sites & my two relevant sites.

i'd also love and interview you (and any other starship member) for my five quick…[Read more]

@c-c-almon, say hi from me!

Whatcha workin on?
Right after my last check-in, I got ill so I did not do much last week. But I'm well again and am getting back into proper working.

What’s going well?
The book with my publisher is going to happen! No contract signed yet but I finished the first two softies (it is a book about softies). And if everything falls apart after a…[Read more]

@tanja-osswald How fun! I'll try to make a point to go by her booth. 🙂

Yay for your new book, @c-c-almon!
I hope you'll enjoy the Edinburgh Yarn Festival! A friend of mine will be selling her handdyed yarn there, Danica from Nature's Luxury. She was totally exited to go.

I'm not going to make chat tonight because Sam (my retreat co-host and fibre festival booth partner) arrives this afternoon, we set up our booth for Edinburgh Yarn Festival tomorrow, and EYF is Friday and Saturday.

What’s going well?
All my book (Coffee With C.C. ~ A 7 Pattern Caffeine Inspired Knitting Collection) pre-orders have shipped out. S…[Read more]

Yay for publishing! And you are always welcome back at our chat, @libby-jonson!
Can you tell us how you handle different currencies, now?

About your question: Do you know the fit to flatter series/ knit to flatter book by Amy Herzog? They are not complicated or deep insights but they were extremely helpful to me, to grasp human proportions and…[Read more]

Thank you guys for being so open about your experiences with publishing and book contracts. It makes me feel even more secure in my decision to have self-published my book last year. And once I get underway on the next idea (moving it from an idea in the back of my head to an active project), I won't feel any qualms about self-publishing again.…[Read more]

I went back and forth with F&W Media too. In the end, they rejected my proposal because their research showed the topic was “trending downward” (The very topic THEY asked me to focus on!) I mourned for about a year and thought about approaching another publisher or an agent, but the thought of facing the gauntlet once again sapped all the joy out…[Read more]
